Life has been a little crazy lately. We have left the holidays behind and I am SO looking forward to spring. I really do enjoy winter, but hmmm it can drag on to say the least. However, I don't like complaining...actually loathe it, so I will stop complaining now. :)
Kevin and I are ending a whole 24 hours just to ourselves. In about one hour we will have picked up all of our children from three different babysitters. We have wonderful friends who were willing to give us a little break from the daily life of parenting...just so we can have some special valentine's time together. And that we did...
We enjoyed a WONDERFUL dinner at Carr's restaurant. It is a classy restaurant right in the center of downtown Lancaster. We literally hung out, had supper, and for real enjoyed chatting for quite some time at the restaurant. Sometimes I take for granted those uninterrupted conversations...but I never want to the classic "just him and I" talk times. They are few and far between right now. After a lovely supper we went to a movie. A great movie...Safe House. Denzel Washington is for real one of my favorite actors of all time. Then we headed home to a very QUIET house...this was the time that I started missing my children. I missed tucking them in, singing to them, praying with them...but it was only one night. (For real, what am I going to do when we go to Germany??? I know God's grace will be on us.) Then today, we had such a lovely time together. Sleeping in, watching our slide show from our wedding, breakfast at Cracker Barrel, shopping at the outlets and Target...and of course, lots more talking at Starbucks. I love my man. Even though I planned for the little chillins to be away overnight, I think I am the one that feels the most love coming off this weekend. I got a great man... :)
Well...it's time to go pick up my lovely children, that I miss oh so much...
