Here are the top 5 things I have missed the most this week:
5.Our conversations
With rambunctiousness 7th and 8th graders to look after all week, there has been little time for conversation! I didn't realize how much I enjoyed our pointless little conversations until this week. Just having someone to talk with late at night as you are falling asleep or first thing in the morning is a luxury I did not realize I was taking for granted.
4. Having someone to eat dinner with.
Yep. Eating alone is utterly boring and very dull. I mean, what's the point in making a yummy meal if you are the only one going to eat it? However, in all seriousness I have missed my dinners with Husband this week. Dinner time at our house usually goes a little like this
Me: " Husband, what do you want for dinner"
Mahlon "I don't care, whatever you do"
Me: " Well, we can have (insert long list of options here)"
Mahlon: " Ummmm any of that is fine"
Me: "Uggh! Ok."
I can not wait to ask Mahlon what he wants for dinner tomorrow and hear him say that he does not care what we have!
3. His company.
My husband is the best company I could ever ask for. It does not matter what it is we are doing, I just love having him around. Now, once again, I did not realize how much this meant to me until this week. Whether it's riding in the car together, attending church, watching movies on the couch, eating dinner, doing chores or simply doing nothing I enjoy it.
2. Having my very own handy man
Only one day into Mahlon being gone this week, I discovered a mystery puddle of water in the laundry room. I immediately thought to myself "This house will flood and float away before I figure out what to do about a water leak". However, I gathered my thoughts and soon found the ever so slow leak and simply turned the water to the washer off because I had no idea how to fix what was wrong! It was not fixed- only stopped. Handy Husband would have had that fixed in a jiffy!
1. Laughing.
My husband is always making me laugh! If you know him at all, you know that he says some of the craziest things that often times make you think or even ask "where did you come up with that???" For example, when I told Mahlon that I was going to sit out on the deck and get a tan, his response was "No! You will cook our baby!!" after trying to convince him that it would not cook the baby his response was "Ok fine, but if our baby comes out and swims in circles it's all your fault!" Seriously! Where do you come up with that! I laughed for about 5 minutes uncontrollably!
On the flip side:
I know that Husband has truly enjoyed his time at camp. From the few short conversations we have been able to have I understand that God has truly been at work in the lives of the students at camp this week and for that I am very thankful. I love to hear how God is working in their young lives. I am also very thankful that Mahlon was able to have the opportunity to serve as a mentor to some of the boys at camp this week. I know he has truly enjoyed it :)
