Weekend

Well I only have a few minutes before I call it quits for the night. I think I drove between 600 and 700 miles this weekend. I'm ready to call it quits. When I picked up my from school on Friday to leave town, I knew we were heading in for trouble. I no more hit 59 North when we hit grid lock due to an accident. When I finally reached the wife to pick her up, she just didn't' look well or feel well.

Off to I-10 East we went and when we arrived at out destination, things had not improved for the wife at all. She ended up having a MAJOR stomach virus! In ALL the years I've known her, I've never seen her this sick. Typically, when the wife isn't feeling well, I'm run off and head for higher ground. She wants no one near her. This time I even started to get a bit worried as she actually WANTED me next to her and TOUCHING her! I was about to ask if she had her Will up to date. I figured it might be best to leave that conversation for another time when she wasn't feeling so bad. Needless to say, she was forced to stay in bed at my mom's all weekend long until time to drive home today.

My and I made an appearance at the wedding and had a great time. He was having such a good time, he didn't want to leave so I could go back and take care of his mom. Being at the wedding reminded me of our own wedding and how much I enjoy being married. Sure we have our difficult moments. It's all apart of being married. For better or worse. Luckily, times are difficult but I don't think they have been worse.

Of all the married couples in attendance, there were many under 5 years, only ONE with 10 years or under and one with 17 years. The last remaining dance partners, were 37 years, 42 years, 55 years and 56 years married. I felt very proud to have made it 11 years so far and I look forward to reaching that 50 year mark. There are many thing in my life I feel are missing but a good marriage isn't one of them. I'm proud of who I'm married too and what we have accomplished in our short 11 years.

I'm glad the wife is feeling better today as well. She is still recovering but will at least be able to go to work tomorrow. Have a great week and a Happy valentines Day too!

    It's always nice to hear that someone is happy in their marriage. So rare these days.
    I wish you many years of happiness.

Thank you sweetie. It's been a tough road but one I think is worth it. I don't ever think the physical will be as I so desire but then again, it isn't about what all I want now is it.

    Quoting  :
We got lucky. She made the trip with us and when we got to my moms house, things got worse. I think she threw up like 7 times! We were concerned about how she would travel back home. Her stomach still hurts but we made it home safe and sound.

My little man was being a total ham on the dance floor. He even ruined a brand new pair of pants that went to his pin striped suit sliding across the floor.
