Getting a little help ...

So, last night was our first counseling appointment. It was easier than I expected. Mostly just getting to know each other and then telling her about our history and where we are in our marriage right now and why we decided to go see her. She even identified an area that she wants to work on next week. 
After we left Josh and I talked about our appointment and we think it's going to help that we now have this person to help us learn how to be better together. At first I was really worried about going, like it was some sort of admission that we couldn't do it alone, but after thinking about it I just feel like we are doing what we need to do to stay together. We are doing doing the hard thing by admitting that we need to learn how to be better together, that we need skills that we don't have right now to communicate. 
After our appointment, I'm so glad that we went. I left the building with this lightheartedness. Our conversation was still serious and it was still difficult at times, but it was so good to know that we are moving in the right direction, that we are going to be stronger for each other and for our little buggy because of this.
