Learning how to be Mrs. Sweeney

          Welcome to my simple married, pregnant, christian, life. Not much extremely exciting goes on in my life but learning to be Mrs. Sweeney is still something I will always be doing. So what exactly is being Mrs. Sweeney? Well I've been figuring that out for the last 2 years and 1 month. Being Mrs. Sweeney is not just about being married to Mr. Sweeney, but also being a wife, being a Christ follower, and soon being a mother. I think here recently I have really stepped into my roll as the wife as I prepare for the role as a mother. Up until this point I think I have been figuring out my role as a friend to my wonderful husband, learning what makes him happy and how to keep him that way. Now 2 years later I've really started to work on how to be his wife.
         
          I am very blessed that I've got to spend the last two years becoming a very close friend to my husband. I believe this friendship will be a great foundation for us and our future family as I step into my roll as a wife and mother. For me I feel as though being a friend to my husband first and learning how to understand him as a person will help me support him as his wife as he grows in Christ as a man, a father, and a husband.
        
        I've spent my whole life dreaming of being a wife and a mother and so far I've loved every minute of being a wife, especially sense I get to be the wife to the most amazing man that only God could have perfectly placed into my life. I've only recently had to start to shift into more of a wife role as we move forward in our lives and become parents. The beginning of our lives as one has been an amazing adventure so far. There have been some small bumps in the road with various small issues, but for the most part its been pretty carefree getting to be friends and married. We are now moving into a more serious time in our lives as we move into a bigger home and have bigger responsibilities. Dealing with these bigger issues has been a challenge but the strength with have in each other through Christ has been so amazing. I feel like I've accomplished things the last couple months I never thought I could. I know this strength only comes through God and the support he has placed in my life in the form of my husband. 
        
        I know I will always be feeling as though I could be doing better, comparing myself to people I see at church and on TV and in different forms of social media. I have always struggled with feeling as though I will never meet the standard I have put for myself based on these various examples of what is best. Here recently I have started to see myself becoming small amounts of what I thought I would never be able to be and here I plan to chronicle my journey of learning how to be Mrs. Sweeney.
