I’m having such a pleasant visit. I had hoped to write more in my blog, but have not had much time to just sit and write.
This morning, we were able to call home and talk to the children. They are having a wonderful time at their grandma’s house – Tabitha screamed into the phone, “YEAH! I’m having FUN!!!†We miss them terribly, but we do not have to worry since they are in such capable hands. Thomas said his Uncle Mark is taking care of him (Thomas has been known to say that Mark is his “best friend”). Aiden was just happy to be allowed to hold a real phone 😉
Up until yesterday, Tom has been working for a few hours each night – so we have been able to spend most of our time with each other. For me, it has been a nice break from everyday responsibilities and a refreshing time with my husband. Normally, we only see each other on weekends (which are usually filled with church activities, football games, spending time with relatives, and handling responsibilities leftover from the week) and in the evening after a long day’s work.
To be able to be together while we’re both wide-awake and feeling relaxed, while removed from our normal schedule, has been a great opportunity to appreciate each others’ thoughts, feelings and interests.
We love being together.
There are no uncomfortable silences.
Sometimes, we even steal kisses.
