What a bore I would be
Eating bon bons and cherries
And only watching T.V.
If not for my husband
No adventures would I seek
Save for hunting down the missing sock
And wiping tears from some chubby cheeks
Toward snowboarding and more
Toward early mornings and late nights
In a car that fits no more than four
The wee hour before we leave
That I get that bit of excitement
And to my home a little less I cleave
And complains even more …
“But I’ll be tired, the kids won’t sleep
And I might even be bored!”
Who is ever the adventurous man
Creating many lifelong memories
Again and again
Tomorrow some ladies and I are making a turn-around trip to Sierra Summit (5 hrs 1 way) to go snowboarding. Ryan is already up there with the youth group so we are going to meet him up there for the day. I have tried to get out of this trip a zillion times and it wasn't until a few moments ago that I got really excited and I realized that I owe much of this excitement (and the exciting moments of my life) to Ryan, who is usually spearheading all of our trips. Thanks dear, I love you.

You are so sweet, and yes, so very blessed!
Aaawwww, that is so sweet Amber. Doesn't it feel good to appreciate and feel motivated by our husbands?! I love the last part, "Creating many lifelong memories
Again and again". I look back at all our pictures and realize how many memories we are making.
