I had lunch with my wife today.
Back in the day, when she was teaching, I used to go out of my way to meet her for lunch on Teacher Workshop days (the few instances when she could get out for an hour).
Now that she holds an office job, the opportunities are more frequent. We just never do it.
It was refreshing to get to talk to her. Life is so busy this time of the year, we don’t have a lot of time to be a couple. We are spending so much time being parents, employees, volunteers etc that we forget our most important earthly role.
that said…
I am ditching her for the weekend to go to a leadership retreat up at camp. It will be fun (it is the place I met her). I haven’t been there in a number of years, but it is a place that is dear to my heart. We are taking 6 youth and 6 adults, all involved in youth group leadership.
I will have to post some pictures on Monday.
