My
husband and I have had the best weekend.
Our
17 year-old-soon-to-be-18-year-old son asked if we would like to go with him
and his girlfriend to see Winter’s Tale for Valentine’s Day. Of course, he
doesn’t have a car and can’t drive… But we, of course, said yes. And his 19
year-old brother and his girlfriend went, too.
We
had a wonderful time hanging out with these young men and their dates.
We went to the early movie, and Jonah mentioned that Quik Trip would be a good place to get something to eat. So, there you go. Meanwhile, I was sitting in the Flex watching a full orange/red moon come up while Jim was putting the gas in.
The kids were like, "Ah, another picture????"
(And
the movie was fantastic, so go see it!)
My
boys weren’t embarrassed to spend the night with their parents. And neither were their girls.
Isn’t
that great?
We
didn’t even get home until after midnight. Mom and Dad were a little exhausted,
but it was definitely worth it.
Yesterday,
we went to lunch with our friends. They only live an hour away, so we try to
meet in the middle. Unfortunately, it’s been over a year since we’ve actually
gone to lunch or dinner together! Time goes by in the blink of an eye, and that’s
the only excuse I have.
Last
night, Jim and I went to see Ragamuffin – The Rich Mullins film. It was very
thought-provoking, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has heard of
him or listened to any of Rich Mullins’ music. I don’t want to spoil it for
anyone, but there are some elements that will pierce your soul (if you have
one!).
I’ve
had my share of rotten Valentine’s Days, but this one was very nice.
