Favorite Moment:
When I came upstair yesterday, Tommy had lit candles in our bed room and put on some really cute folksy lullaby on his laptop. It was really nice just lying on the bed relaxing while listening to the music. It had been a really emotional day for me and when Tommy made a comment about my moodiness lately, I couldn't help but break out in tears. Sobbingly I  explained how I really hated to be that moody, but just didn't know how to handle all my emotions. I think he was a little shocked, because he really didn't mean to hurt me with his comment. I know he was just trying to make a joke, but it was true. He kept telling me that it was ok and that I shouldn't cry. But honestly I'm glad I did. I felt so much better afterwards. All the bad emotions, all the anger and frustration it had turned into, got wiped away.  Maybe it's better to just let my emotions turn into tears instead of anger or sadness. I shouldn't be so hard on myself, after all my body goes through tremendous changes right now and I'm sure anybody else with such hormone changes wouldn't feel any different.
