Just the two of us!

This time last weekend, we were returning from our mini vacation to Panama City Beach, Florida. It was a wonderfully relaxing time for us and we really needed it! Our lives tend to be so busy with daily responsibilities and I had begun to feel that my sweet husband and I were living parallel lives that rarely intersected for any length of time. It was so great just to spend alone time together and just "be", with no real schedules or agendas! I can tell you it was a terrific time of renewal for both of us! Note to self: Never, never let so much time pass without just a small oasis of renewal!
We returned home through Enterprise, Alabama, where we attended church on Sunday and touched base with our former church family. There is a wonderful group of people there. We were stationed at Fort Rucker when we had no children, when we had young children, and when we had teenage children so they have known us through many seasons of our lives. We lived there 10 out of the 26 years Alf was in the Army.
Alf and I laugh at the commercials that show grown children's perception of their parents really having no real life apart from what they are aware of. Even though we are older, we still have the passion for life and each other that has always been there. Even after almost 40 years of marriage, I am so very thankful for our life together and the lasting love we have for each other! I am especially thankful for our relationship with our Heavenly Father who has been the glue that has held us together through the years! Ah love........Sigh!!!!!!
