It was so nice to have a few days of uninterrupted time with my husband. We just did whatever we wanted to do and didn't have to worry about who's hungry or tired.
We arrived home about dinner time last night. The kids and papa were gone out to eat for dinner. For a few minutes it was still quiet at the Burrous' house. Once the children arrived it was nonstop chatter. I love how they all want to tell me every detail of every event that happened. Our youngest likes to re-enact the events for my viewing pleasure. Before to long it was time to send everyone to bed because it was a school night. We said our good nights and turned in early ourselves.
The chaos always begins with the alarm clock. Except this morning I couldn't remember what day it was. That dreaded beeping wakes you from a dead sleep and you can't for the life of you remember why it was going off anyway. Once I came to I remembered that today is chalked full of stuff I must get done because we were gone for a few days. Among the list of things to do today was to take my step-dad back to the airport.

RETREAT!
I am filled with anticipation today as I wait to leave for our marriage retreat. My husband is off at work, I am working on school work with the boys and I can't seem to concentrate on a thing. I feel like a kid waiting for Santa to come the next morning.
My husband and I have been on several marriage retreats. We have gone with children and without children. I truly enjoy the trips without our kids. Now, of course, I love my children and would do anything for them but there are times in my marriage that my husband and I need to be just that. Husband and wife. We need to take time out of our schedule and take off the many hats that we wear and just be husband and wife.
In a few short years our oldest will be off to college. That is hard to believe. Her high school years will fly by and before we know it we will be sending the rest of the children off to live their own adventurous life. That makes this retreat and any that follow that much more important.
