Thursdays: Tied with Love and Laughter

 BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HOW HECTIC AND CRAZY LIFE CAN BECOME, STOP BY ON THURSDAYS TO TAKE A MINUTE AND REMEMBER ALL THE REASONS WHY YOU FELL CRAZY IN LOVE!  HOW HAS THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN A BLESSING TO YOU THIS WEEK?
What is your most memorable "Get-Away?"
Each year, my husband and I mark our calendars well in advance for the Maine State Homeschool Convention which takes place at the Samoset Resort for three reasons:

1) The Samoset is gorgeous! 
2) We believe that homeschooling is one of the major key players in the pursuit of our family goals and so we like to invest in this weekend to prepare ourselves for the upcoming school year.
3) Its one of the rare times that we actually have the opportunity to get away, just the two of us! 

This year we left our three little ones home with "Meme" and "Brahaw" and headed out for a refreshing weekend together.  It was a weekend of encouragement, blessings, laughter, and quiet.  We even got to have dinner out with good friends AND we got a room upgrade that had a hot tub!  It was fabulous.  This week I am thanking God again for allowing me to share my life with my husband.
Can't wait to hear YOUR stories!

Stumped for ideas?
Did you have a special date, did you make a big decision, did he make you feel extra special in some way, did you laugh together, did you remember a special past memory, did you overcome something together, did he make you smile, were there any surprises this week?
