Day 2370 – He Still Surprises Me! – or – Marriage Tip

Last night while I was working through my ever increasing to-do list, Bret arrived home from playing volleyball. When he walked through the door, I said “on the clock!” Which is what I do when I’m working for one of my clients and can’t be disturbed. He said, “Oh, well, I’ll just leave this stuff out in the hall then…” I turn around to see him carrying in two big carryout bags! I quickly finished up what I was doing and sat down to have a meal with my hubby. It was such a great surprise and a needed boost to finish up my to do list!

Surprise your wives husbands!

Day 2368 – Eight Years Ago…

Last night I couldn’t sleep. I was still on West Coast time, so it wasn’t until about 12:30/1 a.m. that I finally drifted off. I ended up looking at my Facebook “on this day/memories/whatever they’re calling it now” and saw that in 2008, I posted this:

It brought back so many memories of late night phone calls, thoughts of “I may or may not see Bret again,” but mostly it made me so thankful. Thankful that God kept Bret safe on deployment. Thankful that God brought us together as friends, significant others and then as a married couple. Take a look at some of your old Facebook posts, maybe there is something you can be thankful for today.
