Love of my life

I always struggle in the summer because this is Joel's busy time of the year for work, and with baby on the way he's been going going going. I don't know if I can say I fully understand the drive of a man who wants to provide for his family, just as I don't know if he can fully understand it when I tell him that providing is not just about money. I do however understand what it means to love someone so much that you want to do as much as you humnanly can for them.

With a TO-DO list as long as Santa's list, paired with the "stop denying it, they exist" pregnant hormones, my emotions have been hit hard when it comes down to how little time I've had the to spend with Joel this summer. It's amazing how many things come into light in regards to level of importance when the only thing you're dying for is some genuine quality time with the person you love. I was missing Joel sooo much last week, which lead to brokeness, which lead to one of those talk you just have to have, which lead to the greatest weekend ever. Nothing special, but so special at the same time. We spent Friday afternoon working around the house together, went for dinner and picked up some groceries and a movie for the lake, woke up Saturday packed up and headed out, just relaxed and enjoyed each others company, walked our doggy, watched some movies, slept in (o.k. Joel slept in, I don't ever sleep in and it's the worst), spent some more time together, headed back to town, got home and changed and went to The Exhibition which was SUPER FUN. I honestly can't remeber the last time the 2 of us just spent the weekend together, enjoying our relationship. It reminded me of the reasons we feel in love wth each other.

One of the things that sticks out the most from when we were being mentored (pre-marriage) was when our mentoring couple told us to work towards a place where if we lost everything, we would have everything we needed in each other. As I sat on my bed last week crying because I just missed my husband I realized that we're at that place in our life were we seem to have everything, but that really doesn't matter because he is all that I want and when we get to spend time together, just the 2 of us I feel like I'm on top of the world.

Thank you Lord for the blessing of this man I am lucky enough to call my husband.
