What did you say?

Isn’t it funny how what you hear isn’t always what was said? I think there must be some deep life application in there somewhere….

So here’s how it went down last night. At bedtime the hubby and I were laying in bed talking for a few minuets. He said something to the effect of “I’m so glad you know me – you really know everything about me better than anyone else in my life.”  That’s nice right?

Here  is the second part of that sentence….at least how I HEARD it. “You are good in the bed and you’re ugly” I’m sorry……What did you say?

Here is what he actually said; “The good, the bad and the ugly” NOW it makes much more sense! Guess I didn’t hear  right at all. We laughed for a long time about that one!

Moral of the story……Did I really hear what I think I heard?

We thought about never returning….

Sorry for the delay in posting….we did come back from our weekend get-away, although we thought about never returning. It was tempting…until we realized that running out of money would put a pretty big kink in those plans.

In short…our weekend was fantastic. It was fun and relaxing and even downright difficult in places. We talked through some hard things that can “cloud the windshield” of a marriage and keep you from seeing things clearly. The end result? We are happy and connected and closer than we have been in a long time….hard conversations shouldn’t be avoided – they can change the course of your relationships.

I don’t have much time now, but I will leave you with a quick picture of the view from our room. We got up super early both mornings just so we could see this:

Told you it was good!

I’m running away….

Okay, not really, but I am leaving for a few days. The hubby and I are going to Myrtle Beach to celebrate our 11th anniversary this weekend! Can I just say how much I LOVE the fact that we only live a few hours away from the ocean? I have not had that privilege in many many years.

So we are leaving town…getting away and focusing on each other for a few days. We are going to walk on the beach (if it stops raining), eat out, read some books, sit in the hot-tub and sleep as late as we want. We are going to remember all the reasons why we fell in love in the first place and made that giant leap into the future together on November 15th 1997.

The last 11 years have not always been easy…but I wouldn’t trade them for anything. I can’t wait to see what the next 11 bring!

I’ll take some pictures of the ocean…..and come back more rested and refocused.

See ya on the flip side!

It’s Monday morning…

I think I dislike Monday mornings almost more than anything else. Certainly they are my least favorite of all the other mornings! Nobody likes getting back to a work/school routine after a nice weekend off and I’m no exception…..

So in an effort to cheer myself and the rest of the interweb up on this dreary, chilly, grey and sleepy Monday morning……

A man and a woman, who have never met before, but are both married to
other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a
transcontinental train.

Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were
both very tired and fell asleep quickly…he in the
upper bunk and she in the lower.

At 1:00 AM, the man leaned over and gently woke the woman saying,
“Ma’am, I’m sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into
the closet to get me a second blanket? I’m awfully cold.”

“I have a better idea,” she replied. “Just for tonight, let’s pretend
that we’re married.”

“Wow! That’s a great idea!” he exclaimed.

“Good,” she replied. “Get
your own  blanket!”

After a moment of silence, he farted.

Searching…

                                                                                                     

People find my blog through some funny search engine terms….but sometimes they make me sad too.

To whoever is out there and can’t love your husband….ask for some help before it’s too late! It may seem hopeless, but it isn’t….love can come back from the dead! The God who made you can rescue your marriage too…and wants to.

Anything for the sake of the Gospel…..

People, I am dedicated to my faith!  I am not always up for any old challenge, but this? Wow….I might have to take this challenge. I wonder what my husband will think?

Thanks to Carlos at Ragamuffin Soul for posting about this This is a challenge I think I might be able to get on board with…you know, it’s for a good cause and if it points people to God, then any sacrifice is worth it!
