Corny, but True

Lately, John Thomas and I have been so busy that we are lucky to spend ONE evening together at home a week! And they are normally Sunday nights, and we should be going to church. During the fall John Thomas is on a softball team that plays every Monday and Wednesday night. They either play at 6:30, 7:30 or 8:30. With these times he is home by 8 at the earliest, then we still have to eat. Tuesday nights I have Bible Study with a fantastic group of ladies! (Sidenote: I cherish my Tuesday nights with them. A coworker who I have became great friends with invited me at the beginning of summer and I have been since!) This leaves me Thursday-Saturday night, where you would think that I would be spending time with John Thomas. And majority of the time we are together but we are either A-having stuff that has to be done asap since the house is For Sale or B- doing something with family and/or friends! Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE being with my friends and family but I sure do miss John Thomas and I cooking dinner, eating, and hanging out together.

I heard Blake Shelton's new song, God Gave Me You the other day going down the road and I wanted to burst into tears. We have been so caught up with work (he seems to be as busy as I am) and other things that we haven't spent much time together and I know that I haven't truly appreciated him like I should have. I have a deep respect for those of you who husband's travel constantly (My mom being first! My dad is gone every week and home about every 4 or 5 weeks for a week at a time! I would HATE that!), or even work third shift. I just don't know how I would do that.

So no matter how cheesy I am being by posting this video, it is how I am feeling and my new favorite song to crank up and listen to while driving. A good reminder of how fortunate I am to have a wonderful husband if nothing else.





love-
