Shopping With My Husband

Wow, it's been way too long since I've posted anything. But, summer's over and my daughter's back to school--first grade! I've also got my preschool classes underway and am starting to get into a routine.

Last night, we went shopping together. All three of us. It was so nice. I enjoy shopping with my husband. It was just a trip to Costco, but walking through the store together, making decisions together... I don't know, it just felt good. We don't go shopping together very often, because he's a get in and get out kind of shopper whereas I like to walk around and look at everything. My main reason for walking and around and looking is usually to find items on clearance that are a really good deal. I haven't ever noticed clearance items at Costco, so I wasn't as tempted to walk around. But, Costco did have plenty of samples which encourages my husband to walk around more than usual, so we were both happy. Might sound goofy, but it's a bit romantic to me (hey, we've been married 10 years, that romantic feeling doesn't happen often).

When we're at home, everyone seems to be doing their own things. Someone's on the computer, either playing games, checking e-mail, or researching something. Someone else might be watching TV or doing dishes. Then there's someone doing homework or playing with toys. Even when watching movies together, we're usually on separate pieces of furniture. I relish the togetherness. Perhaps I need to do more to foster it. Something to pray about today. :)
