It is hard sometimes to mesh our lives together. I'm talking about my husband and I. Specifically religion. You see, I am LDS and Rafal is technically Catholic but is known to call himself Atheist. He's not. I just don't by it. Anyways, there is a lot that goes into being a Mormon. I will stand by my beliefs to my dying day. I've seen it bring light into my life during the darkest time. That being said, it's hard work. Well, I never really understood how hard I it would be sharing my life with someone who doesn't have the same beliefs as I do. I don't mind that my husband isn't LDS but when I try to explain why I feel some things are wrong, I feel like it falls on deaf ears. What do you mean I can't drink Jack Daniels? Why am I not aloud to have a cigarette when I'm stressed? Why can't I watch Spike TV? Just cause babe, its not right. You see how this can pose some problems. But when it comes to Ava, we have some very similar beliefs. We both want her to grow in a nurturing and clean environment. A few nights ago, we rented a seemingly innocent blockbuster comedy. A few minutes in, the movie took a turn for the worse. Every other word was a cuss word along with very suggestive content. It didn't take long for Rafal to ask to to turn it off since Ava was also in the room with us. It made me happy. We are both clear that Ava will grow up in the church and Rafal supports that. Maybe one day he will willingly come too.
