My "Justin Fix"

We went back to the lake today. It was a gorgeous day... not really swimming weather. Only about 85, but we had fun! I dug in the sand with the kids and found some really neat rocks. Justin came along this time, but he didn't even wear his bathing suit. He said, "I am not getting in that nasty water!" Now I know where my kids get it! He will only swim if it is a pool, I guess. But we had a nice time sitting in the shade and talking and making fun of the young people trying to impress each other, critiquing bathing suits, (or lack thereof) and generally just spending time with one another. It has been a few months since we have been able to do that. Sometimes I forget what good friends we are and how much we make each other laugh. It is easy to forget when you are married and you generally don't have more than 30 minutes a day to talk to each other. You tend to forget why you got married. You tend to forget why you became friends! That you once had a lot in common with this person and not one of those things was kids, or bills or sharing a bed. But today I remembered that. I remembered what a funny and interesting guy my husband is. How smart he is. How much we share the same interests and sense of humor. It was a good day. And then we got home, bathed the kids, and he is gone again. Off to the play. I can't wait until it is over and we can hang out again. Maybe even go on a date! But I guess today was my "Justin fix." It was a good day.
