Long, sunny, warm days. I love them. We always spend lots of time outside. The only time we were inside yesterday was to cook and eat, and then after ten to relax and go to bed.
Greg and I spent lots of time together too. We played basketball, set up and took pictures of our flowers, went to the high school track to walk/run, and then rollerbladed with our friends. It was a fun-filled, calorie burning day. It is always fun to get away from sitting on the couch all winter.
I have developed a new appreciation for Greg. Not only from bad examples around me (failed marriages) but from my grandfather's relationship to my grandma. You never know how long, or short, your time will be together, so you really have to take advantage of the time you do have. Even if you are doing something that you don't want to do, like playing basketball, you can still find some joy it. Like fouling just to touch :) or making your own rules--my rule last night was no running our game was exhaustion-free.
Even a little time together is priceless when you don't know how long you have, and when you don't act like you have forever. Take time to laugh and love. I truly love my hubby and would be forever lost without him.

Jen,
Learning to appreciate what we have while we have it is a huge step forward in life. No what about learning to appreciate heartache and trials and troubles too??
yea, that's hard!

I do appreciate them, as wierd as it sounds. Normally I would be really angry that this happened, but I don't feel that this time. I feel at peace. I feel only thankfulness for the time I had with Popa. No anger. I don't like the lake anymore, though...I am okay with God calling him home.
