Little Things BIG effects

Recently I've been getting in trouble with communication with Kaitlyn (my fiancee). What the heck Danny you just talked about communication, don't you have it down? - Eh, I know what I'm expected to do, applying it sometimes is difficult.
It started out with having plans one night, however a friend called and invited me to go out to a OKC Thunder game sitting in suites club section. 1) I am a huge Thunder fanatic 2) It was a free ticket 3) I've never been in club. They have free food and soda beverages. So what I did next was good. I called Kaitlyn for permission to go to the game. It was difficult to ask, because we hardly have an quality time during the week.

[Her schedule starts at 5:30am - getting ready for work. Goes to internship from 7am-12pm. Then she heads to class. After class she either puts in a few more hours at her internship or goes home to study and wedding plan]

[I don't start getting ready till 7:30. I have classes from 9am to 12:15. I go home and get ready for work from 3pm to 8pm. By the time I get back into Edmond Kaitlyn is already getting ready for bed at her house, so I don't both going over] Our quality time usually comes on weekends.

Expecting to see each other and breaking that news to her was tough, but I am lucky enough to have an understanding lady who also wants me to have fun and be happy. I promised I would text her when I got there, some during the game and when I got home. I did well until I didn't text her when I got home. The next morning I knew I was in trouble again when I was municipal court doing some observation for a experience research paper. In the court house it is highly frowned upon to have you phone out and if it goes off I believe it is a $100+ fine. So guess who didn't text Kaitlyn good morning, sorry about last night, I am at family court I can't talk right now, HEY I AM ALIVE DON"T CALL THE COPS. When I left the court house my phone had a few messages, snapchats and a missed phone call.

By now if you are a guy you are probably thinking, she's a girl and she will get over it.
If you are a girl you are thinking that I'm dumb for not telling Kaitlyn that I made it home, good morning and I can't talk for a few hours I am at court. So simple. Just do it. She probably was worried and thought you died.

Advice passed to me that I will pass to you:
The little things in life play in big ways.

In life you are always doing one of two things. Attributing to life giving words (actions) or attributing to life taking words (actions). Or how my football use to say, you are either getting better or worst there is no stagnant.
