Cooking in the kitchen with my husband after church was the most fun I've had all week. I thank God for such sweet time with my companion. Then we took a nap. I scooted over and rested against his arm. The trick to bein
I also think getting home earlier when you can helps too!! I know it isn't always possible with meetings, but I think you should take every opportunity you have to leave as soon as the bell rings! I love you! I think I've been coming down with something & Jonathan is finally "cutting" a tooth on the top-it's broken gum but it's still not out yet- so we haven't been up for much, we've been tired and cranky lately! I'll try to call you back this evening!
