So in less than a week my beautiful lioness starts training for her new job, so far she's adjusting to life here a thousand miles from her family. But yesterday I saw her frustration with some things and it made me realize how much I had grown up, you see we were trying to get her an account set up to pay personal property tax in this state so we can get her license for her vehicles changed over. Needless to say after driving to the court house we didn't have the proper paperwork this is where she got frustrated and I started to see her having what I call a mini meltdown. I stopped and reassured her it would be fine we would go home and get everything together and return in a day or so. To me it was no big deal just another trip to get some mandatory paperwork done so the state can take your money we all have to do it. In that moment I thought about how impatient I used to be, how I would have argued that I had the right papers and how wrong they were, how I now had to make another damn trip back. But on this day I calmly reasured her it would be fine, we have plenty of time thirty days to change the plates over. These last few weeks have been a wonderful learning experience for the both of us I'm learning what it's like to have someone that loves and cared about me in ways that surprise me at times, she's learning that she won't be yelled at for being human though she dyed my socks baby blue. I love her more than I will ever be able to tell her so I'm trying my best to show her by hopefully taking the simple burdens of life like getting the right papers together for our next trip to the court house. Because one day in the future the only reason I want to go back to the court house is to get our marriage license, because as my mother said she's a keeper, something I already knew. 😊
