Barry and I had a great date tonight. (Thanks Jessi for watching the kiddos!) We ate at Buffalo's. We had a $10 coupon. Nice! Afterwards Barry got McD's chocolate chip cookies and I got a Jittery Joe's Dutch Mocha (decaf). Yum! We finished off the night by flipping through radio stations on the way home and remembering and singing some of our favorite songs from years past. Twas fun.
I'm so thankful to be married to my best friend. It's also fun to share so much history. Though we're 5 years apart in age we both went to the same high school and grew up in the same area. If we move to Korea I'll miss hearing "y'all" and other fun colloquialisms from the South. You can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl. Right?
It was good to reconnect with Barry and to just have fun being together. I finally feel like I'm hitting my stride again after all the trips and upheaval. Now that I know I'm NOT going to be back in school this Fall I'm having a much easier time getting focused and remembering my niche. I'm having a good time with the scheduling, cooking, cleaning, etc. Yay for that. It's so nice to just be home. I always was "just home" before I got hurt and then went back to school. I think I appreciate the role of wife and mom afresh these days.
Like the Word says, "Contentment with godliness is great gain." What a gift contentment is. The Lord has done so much. He is so, so good. I wish everyone could see and know the goodness that I've seen in Him, (even though I know my experience with Him doesn't even scratch the surface of who He is.) And I hope to get to know Him better and better everyday. He's just so wonderful. His attention to detail, His creativity and wisdom, and personal attentiveness are mind-blowing. Even in the fact that He decided to give us all different fingerprints. Why'd he do that? Why did He bother? He's just so amazingly personal. Here's a song to go with that thought. He made us all so unique and we all have a way to praise Him and love on Him that only we as individuals can bring. He loves the way we all relate to Him differently, just the way He made us to!
