Jack had his second "spend the night" tonight and the girls had a slumber party as well so......date night with the husband!!! We thought about getting all dressed up and going to the city to eat and maybe catch a movie, but then it got cold and we got lazy and we ended up sitting in our big red chair eating take-home Mexican food and watching a movie. It was perfect! What a blessing to truly enjoy the one-on-one company of your spouse. I snapped this picture of Jack because he was so darn cute and so excited to be heading off on his own little adventure. My heart was full and kind of sad at how fast time has passed. You hear it all the time, but then you turn around and they all brush their own teeth and dress themselves and quite frankly, could pretty much "make-it" without your constant hovering. So as soon as all my baby birdies headed out with their friends, I turned around to see the friend I started this adventure with so many years ago. I still like him. I am so thankful that as busy as life is and as much as we pour into our children, we still prefer each other. I can't even explain the love I have for my children, but Jay is the one the Lord gave me to honor, cherish and love every day of this life we have together. One day when the nest is empty and the house is way too quite, my prayer is that we still look forward to take-out food, cozy nights in and that we feel just as blessed sitting in our big red chair as we did tonight.
