I LOVE MY HUSBAND!! :)

I absolutely love being able to spend time with my husband, but it is so hard to do when you work two jobs and go to school. I feel like I am always running around and that I "never" get to do anything fun. That is not completely true lately though. Don't tell my boss, but I kind of skipped work one day this week (yesterday) just to spend time with my husband. I did not completely lie to him, but just because I was not feeling well did not mean that I was not well enough to work. I just didn't want to drive myself to Joplin and back. Driving an hour both ways gets very tiresome and I just didn't have that much energy, especially considering what I do at work.

Eric and I avoided Joplin, and went into town to eat lunch as well as to watch his little cousins baseball game. We ended up seeing a few of his other family members as well, but the point is that we went and spent some time together. I always love that, no matter what we are doing.

We have also gone to eat after I get off work and spent extra time doing that than we normally do. Oh, and we made a random stop at the Precious Moments Chapel the other day where we took the time to get a guided tour and browse around the gift shop... And yes, he had to spend money. (But that's okay because my necklace is beautiful.)

We haven't really had any “traditional dates” lately, but spending time with him is all that I really care about. By traditional dates though, I mean something along the lines of Putt-Putt, going to the movies, going out dancing, or just something that we actually plan just for the two of us or with another couple. Like I said though, that's okay with me.

Two nights ago we rented Tekken from Redbox and stayed up late to watch it together. Then we spent all day yesterday spending that time together. Tonight, after work, we went and ate at Logans then rented The Three Musketeers from Redbox which we are going to put in the DVD player and watch as soon as I finish my homework. (See what I mean about never having time?) I do have to go to work tomorrow so I'm trying to get all of this done as soon as I possibly can.

I love my husband, and I love being able to spend this extra time with him. I just wish that this could be more of an everyday occurrence rather than just every once in a while. It would be nice to feel like I actually get to see my husband more often than just driving to and from Joplin and when we get ready for bed and wake up. Of course we do argue some, but at the end of the night we are still in love so it all works out :P
