this past weekend Michael and i skipped away to Carmel and Monterey, just the two of us. (we are skipping in these pix) i didn't realize how much i missed him till we were away. i miss him being all mine. all of his humor, chuckles, words, silence, smiles, embraces, glances, dreams, french fries... they were all mine. i needed that. sometimes it is good not to share.i share him with the kids, work, more work, church, yard, people, projects... sometimes i want him all to myself.
We've been trying to do a date night once a month. We did well from November to February, but we failed in March, unless you count 2 six hour classes we attended together! :) We'll have to try again in April!
I love the sculpture of the elderly couple!! So sweet! :)
I'm Denise Jones~ Michael's wife, Noah, Emilie, and Josie's mommy.
Jesus knows me this I love.
Praise is who I am, praise is what I do.
I love words: written, spoken, sung, lived.
I have a love/hate relationship with homeschooling.
I value time spent with a good friend.
I go nowhere without my lipstick!
"By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us- set us right with him, make us fit for him- we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all; We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his doors to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand- out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting praise."
"Even in childhood was implanted within me a trace of that mysterious unity from which I was derived" St. Augustine Everybody has to change or they expire. Everybody has to leave, leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons. I want to keep my soul fertile for the changes, so things keep getting born in me, so things keep dying when it is time for things to die. I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago. Only a good story has a character that's different at the end than it was in the beginning. Through Painted Deserts - Donald Miller

"So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life - your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life - and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him."

You two are so sweet!
Denise, your love for your hubs is so beautiful...I'm happy you got a chance to "not share" him this weekend :)
Yay for no sharing and "oneness."

I know exactly how you feel and when I feel that way, I can't help thinking that's how Jesus feels about us.
