I love my wife's thoughtfulness

I love my wife's thoughtfulness.

We have not been on a real vacation for almost 2 years. The last one was for the thanksgiving long weekend in 2003. We've taken some days off and a weekend off here and there. But, we've really been going full-tilt at work, at home and at church.

This past weekend, we decided to make it a four day long weekend. We went away for two nights, and the other two nights we spent at home, but we kept the phone unplugged. And did that do us some good! We just spent time with each other, talking and walking. We tried not to think about or talk about work, renovations or even church "duties". It was awesome.

And the greatest thing about it, Cindy planned it all! She planned things I'd love to do (we went to Park Safari... great fun). We played mini golf. We watched a movie (Million Dollar Baby--though I'm not sure I really like the message that was being presented). We ate (Sushi, big breakfasts, brunch buffet, picnics)!!! And we simply rested, which is what I needed more than anything else.

I am just so thankful to Cindy for all the work she put into organizing this!

I love my wife.
