Update on Busy Times and Our Anniversary!

Well we had a great trip to Shipshewana. I really enjoyed myself and had a very peaceful time. It is really a beautiful place and I look forward to going back there again someday. It is a very religious community and all the people that we encountered were very nice thank God for that. Now I will have to say that the only hard thing about the trip was being without my girls and Johnny. I missed them and I am sure that they missed me. I think it will be a long while before I leave them again.

Well now we are in Aurora, IL. We are staying in a really quiet hotel with a pool and right now Johnny is gone to his classes and we are here alone. We plan on going swimming later and just hanging around here. Before we came my girls both had a round of the stomach flu and thank God it didn't last long because JoHannah came down with it the evening before we left. But with the Lord's mercy it all worked out and here we are.

Now today is our 8th Anniversary. We celebrated Friday evening with dinner and a movie and we had a really nice time. I am so thankful for the life that the Lord has blessed me with. We have had a really wonderful 8 years and I hope for many more. I have told Johnny that I want him to take me somewhere for our 10th so we have that to look forward to (if the Lord dosen't return first and that would be wonderful).

It's sweet to hear how thankful you are for your family and the years the Lord has given you together. Hope it works out to go away together for your 10th! My dear hubby took me away on our 15th to Mexico for 5 days but I called my kids so much it cost us a fortune in phone calls when I got home oops! :>}

It is so important in a marriage to take "Mommy & Daddy" time as we explain it to our children. It strengthns the bond and makes us appreciate our children more. At least for me it does.
