The beauty of men and women....

Hail to all pink bicycle helmets everywhere!  After realizing that my mother-in-law had to search the entire Wasatch front just to find one, I realize all the more how precious the color PINK really is!

So is it true what they say, men and women really are two very different creatures, even from different planets? I have learned from my short 3 1/2 months of marraige, that girls like PINK easy bake ovens, and men like green lawns.  At least this is the case for me.  Currently my two most prized possessions other than my husband: PINK kitchenaid mixer, and PINK helmet. I think the reason I love them so much is because they lead to two of my current favorite activities: baking cookies and bike riding.

Tonight I came from teaching yoga class to find Micah, entrenched in cleaning the garage. Yesterday he set up our patio outside and grilled some dinner. All month he has been working on getting the lawn as lush and green as every other Bountiful yard to keep up with. While it might not seem it, I think this fella' has a real love for GREEN. He might not be green conscious but he sure likes to make his little patch on earth as alive as it comes, chemicals, sprays, endless water and all!  

Connie loves pink, Micah loves green!  I love the differences between men and women, for years I pretended that I wanted to make my cake and mow the lawn too. The truth is I don't want to mow the lawn, I never have wanted to mow (ok, other than that one time in highschool they paid me $40), and I don't think unless I have too, that I ever WILL want to mow the lawn! 

So here is where both elements unite, AKA Pink meets Green and they get along. After Micah completed his garage cleaning extravaganza he utilized his little green turf for mint green Bike and PINK helmet.  Indeed miracles do happen; men and women can live in harmony!

I have come to peace with this knowledge, and I honor that part of me that says 'I don't want to work, I just want to bake cookies all day!'.  I am completely at one with the universal law that says women are great at some things and men are good at others. I am starting to understand why these two creatures from different planets are meant for each other.  After all, I would hate to have a beautiful yard without a beautiful meal waiting inside of the house it is attached too with pretty flowers and fresh baked goodies. 

In fact, I would hate to have to do this whole life thing alone. I am grateful I don't have too. In fact, I think back to single life not far gone and I realize even then I never had to do it alone.  I was never ever once alone. God was always the best man I had in my life, and always will be.  He gives me a life of balance,  helping me at times to get my off my femi-nazi high horse and bring me down to where I should be, Planet Earth.  In fact that father of mine loves me so much he sent a physical reminder of himself to continue to humble me each day.

So pink KitchenAid mixers and pink helmets. Living proof that: 

Dreams can come true, Dreams do come true. Never ever give up hope of your dream!

What will come next in pink? Babies? One can only hope...

So much love to you and pink.
