Our Get Away!

David and I went away for a night without the kids!  This is huge because the last time we went away together was when our daughter was not even one and a half.  She is almost five!

I can think of a lot of reasons why we haven't done this earlier and some of those reasons were legitimate... moving, beginning baby stages, moving again and not living near family.  And then some other reasons that were much less legitimate.  The kids will fall apart without me, we can't afford to do it, the kids will fall apart without me, I don't want my kids to be a burden on someone else, and the kids will fall apart without me.  Just a little egocentric!

I knew I would enjoy the time, but I didn't realize just how much we needed this until I got to spend 30 hours uninterrupted with my husband.  When we were talking we were able to finish most of our thoughts.  Our conversations didn't consist mostly of tasks that needed to be accomplished.  There was no one to clean up after, except for ourselves, and we only did that when we had to!

This time away makes me want to do an even better job of pursuing my husband on a daily basis.  We are so much better for each other and for our kids because of it.  And, apparently when we spend good quality time together we end up matching.  We might need to work on that one...
