I saw Moulin Rouge for the first time with Olivia late one night after the boys had gone to bed. I liked the film but I wasn't bowled over like a lot of people were. But now the soundtrack is under my skin. Rob gets mad at me when I play this song over and over again but he's gone off to the grocery store for dinner stuff so I can play it over and over and over again until he comes back and screams, "ENOUGH EWAN McGREGOR ALREADY." Like one can ever get enough Ewan McGregor? Please.

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh come what may, come what may
I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...
Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

There's so much that's good right now and it's work to make a relationship work. We have to talk about money all the time because let's face it, that's what most people fight about. We have had exactly one emotionally charged conversation that wasn't even a fight per se, it was about money. Part of it is the difficulty in being married to a freelance writer. Income fluctuates from month to month and even with my steady paycheck, it's hard to make ends meet. We have 3 animals to feed, we each have a bit of credit card debt. Don't get me wrong. I love love LOVE being together. But there are days that it's difficult. Days when I need encouragement. Days when he needs encouragement. Days when we both want to strangle one of the cats or the dog. Days when his parents need a right smack. Days when I want to elope. But it's so worth it. He's worth it. What we have together is right and it's worth the days that are harder than others. We struggle with the idea of having a partner, someone to rely on when things are a burden. But he's there to lighten my load and I wouldn't have it any other way.
