thankful: a simple weekend with my husband

It was a lovely weekend. Nothing crazy. Nothing special. But it was a whole string of little events that were perfectly us.

Mark worked some long hours last week, and that time apart made our inseparable time this weekend even sweeter. Our weekend just felt like one long (wonderful) date.

My two loves watching the surfers.
We had movie night in and movie night out (About Time was so good. And deeper than I anticipated. LOVED it.) We talked and talked and talked and stayed in our pjs till 2:30 on Satuday. We ran errands and did a little pre-Christmas shopping. We went out to dinner (and lunch!) which is rare for our frugal selves. We walked on the beach and just enjoyed our time together.

Today I am thankful for my husband. There is no one I'd rather do life with. He makes everything more fun just by being around.

We don't have the perfect marraige (no one does), but God has given us a very blessed one. I hope and pray that God can use our little family to reflect His love and to bless others.


Marky, I love you, and I am so indescribably thankful to be your wife.

Happy Monday, dear friends. And don't forget to link up with us tomorrow!!!! (YAY!)
