Season of Love

Last week turned into to another one of those busy blurs. Tuesday, we stayed home for day number 7 of snow, so Wednesday, when it was back to school, I hit the ground running. For all the things that were on my Monday/Tuesday to-do list, I still managed to accomplish everything by Friday.

As Valentine's Day fell on the weekend, Sunday, to be exact, Collin, my forever sweetheart, and I celebrated several days. Friday night, we had haircuts at 5:30 and we planned to eat at Shortie Small's after we finished. It was getting so late that we were starved and we thought our meal was fabulous. We both ordered a steak with cheesy fries.

Saturday morning we were up early and on the road by 8:00 to Little Rock for the day. We traveled with Dennis and Regina to an RV show which was housed in the State House Convention Center. We had a great time touring camper/trailers/motor homes all day. Since we love camping and are quite the enthusiasts, it was exciting to see the newest models for the season even though we are very pleased with what we have. We had lunch at a very nice Mexican restaurant and headed home shortly after 6:00.

Sunday morning, we were up early and off to church. As the day came to a close I thought about how blessed we are and how much love we have every day--not just one time a year. I thought about all the different types and kinds of love we had shared over the weekend. I have the love of family, a wonderful husband and three children. I was fortunate to share time with both Collin and Bryan and took time to send Micah and Rhyne a note expressing my love. We have many wonderful friends at church and those we know from other avenues which fill our lives with happiness. We have parents to share special moments as we did Sunday at lunchtime, and we have the love of our heavenly Father as we worshipped Sunday with fellow believers.

Love does make the world go round and what a lonely place it would be without it.

Happy Valentine's,

Marcia
