"If You Like Piña Coldadas"

I wrote this post awhile ago and it just feels like time to put it out there.

So I think most of us know the song "If you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain..."  this is one of my favorite songs! I find it to be so funny! It is about a man who replies to an add in the paper that a women wrote in wanting to escape the everyday. He goes to meet this girl and finds out that it is his own wife. It cracks me up! They laugh and re kindle there love finding out that they were longing for the same things and did not even know it and in fact were looking for it with someone else yet it sent them to each other.

Hopefully this does not come across too confusing... This is something that has been on my mind a lot and it was kind of difficult to put onto paper..

 Everyone looking for the "perfect" life somewhere else when most often it is right in front of us! Now with that said I know it is not easy and that there is no real perfect life but man you can work on your perfect life! Life is what you make of it and I believe you can make your own perfect life. The perfect life meaning what you want out of it and achieving your own goals.

When I was growing up I dreamed of many things singer, actress, dancer, fitness instructor, song writer, personal chef, even at one point I wanted to be a professional softball player or go to the Olympics in Soccer or Swimming. Now the older I got things definitely changed.

Now if you read this blog you know that I did become a fitness instructor, personal trainer, and health coach. One thing I did not plan that much on was marriage. I figured that would happen in my late 20's early 30's. I met my husband at 20... Married him a year later and now making my new Perfect Life. I had no idea how fulfilling being a wife and mother would be! To me that is a huge part of my perfect life! I love cleaning the house and making dinners for when my hard working husband comes home! I can not wait for the crazy kid life that will be in store for us in just a few months. Now I know this sounds very old fashion but to me this is the perfect life! Writing up my grocery lists, vacumming the floors, meal planning, and more! The reason that it is the perfect life is because this makes me happy! I love the relationship that I have with my husband and the life we are building together. Sure it gets tough some times and it can be a little scary, but that is life! I enjoy the dance parties we have pretty much every day, working out together, keeping score at his baseball games, playing bored games at night, and more than anything being silly and loving each other!

I have had many people explain to me that I am the ecseption that what I have with my husband is one in a million... Now I do realize that I really lucked out. I found someone who has the same goals, dreams, humor, interests, and passions that I do. That does not mean that we do not have to work on it! Here are a few rules that my husband and I tend to live by.

Say I love you all the time! Every chance you get!
Always say please and thank you!
Never go to bed angry!
Always say how much you appreciate them!
Remind them why and what you love about them!
Always share what is on your mind!
NEVER keep secrets!
Always Apalogise!
Forgive quickly!
Realize when you are in the wrong!
Remember neither one of you can read minds!
Never hold things against each other!
Pray together!
Set goals together!
Never forget the power of touch! 

Perfections takes work. Everyone has room to grow and improve. So make a list of what you want and reward yourself for every goal made and let go of the ones that do not work out. It happens, no point in beating yourself up over them! The point is to build your happy life your "perfect" life.

So get out there. Make your Perfect life but do not forget to look at what is right in front of you. Often that is your answer, that is what you need!

Have a Healthy Happy Day!
