I’m very excited, the weekend of June 15th, Mark and I are going away ALONE for the weekend to Branson, Missouri! We are looking forward to this time alone together, with Mark’s work schedule and my daily busy life and recent health issues, we need this time of quiet and refreshing. Mark and I do find time every single day to have alone time together to talk, etc…. but it’s usually only one hour daily that we get uninterrupted (well, more or less uninterrupted) and we need some down-time and refreshing! We do have a date night at least once a month while the children are at “Kids Movie Nite” at our church; but we really need to work in a few more date nights each month.

So when my friend’s daughter and her dance group were asked to perform in Branson at the Dixie Stampede (and another show, whose name alludes me at the moment), we jumped at the chance to go! We’re getting awesome rates on our hotel room and show ticket prices and aside from the Friday and Saturday evening performances, all the rest of the time is free time to do what we’d like. So I’ve been saving up money for this trip and have child care lined up for the weekend and we intend to go and have a wonderfully relaxing and fun time.

I adore my husband and our time together and we like to do so many of the same things that we really do have a great time together. I will miss the children, but know they are being left in good care with my friend Kathy, and I don’t have to worry about them. My focus for the weekend will solely be on my husband!
