Gosh, I didn’t realize it’s been three days since I have updated. We’ve been pretty busy, as Justin has been sick with strep throat all week long. This weekend he’s had horrible headaches, and has just been lying on the couch. We’re dosing him with Tylenol to keep the pain in check, and he just got up from the couch to play video games, so I think he’s on his way to feeling better.

J.R. is with friends out on the lake, boating and inner tubing. I almost begged him if I could go also, but then decided I would be disappointed with the answer, “no mom, it’s just the guys,” so I didn’t say anything but, “have a good time.” HA! Spending the day on the lake sounds heavenly though, and I’m glad he’s getting to enjoy it.

Michael and I went out to dinner Friday night to that really great bar I told you about once before. It was just as amazing the second time around, and we had a wonderful time. But the real fun started when we got home. *wink*wink* We’ve been needing some alone time for awhile now, and it truly was just what “the therapist ordered.” (If we were in therapy that is).

We got up early Saturday morning and had breakfast. Then we hiked the Pittman Wash. I got new hiking boots, so I needed to break them in before we did any serious hiking in the mountains. I just love them, and they are going to be perfect. We’ve had a lot of rain lately, so there is flowing water in the wash that we had to cross a couple times. The water just beaded off my boots. PERFECT!

Today we spent moving my computer desk to the music room. I’ve been camping out on the couch with my laptop so I can see the TV, but it’s just doing a number on my back, and my mouse hand/arm. I’m all settled into my new desk, with Michael at his desk just a few feet away, and the TV directly in front of me through the arch way into the living room. And this setup passes the most important test. We can both lean back in our chairs, and our lips can meet for a kiss. PERFECT!

Through all the superficial things that happened over the weekend, there was some much needed positive connection happening between Michael and I, and we truly needed that to happen. And as long as we can recognize that we need to do something to get back in sync, and the things we do actually do, sync us back together, then all the world is PERFECT!
