Love and Marriage

Both of my kids are actually in bed. It is 9:40 pm and they have been asleep since about 8:45.  This has not happened in forever!! We work so hard every night to get them to bed and it's usually such a fight...tonight was surprisingly easy. My husband and I talk everyday about getting the kids to bed so we can spend some much needed alone time together. I am sitting with my laptop and he is on the couch doing schoolwork on his laptop.  We are so romantic aren't we?? 
This makes me think of some advice my mom gave me. She said to make sure you still have a strong relationship with your husband while trying to raise your kids. We get so caught up in work, church, running kids here and there, etc. that relationships get neglected. My kids won't always be here (in my house) and when they are gone (hopefully to college) I don't want to look over at my husband and think so what now?? I don't want my husband to have turned into a stranger. You may think, well that can never happen to me! It happens all the time, and before you even realize it. We try to make time for date nights...it's gotten a lot harder with 2 kids, but we find time here and there. Life is so fun right now, extremely hectic...but we're loving every minute of it.
Ok, I think I've wasted enough time, I'm going to put the computer down (logout of facebook...haha) and go cuddle with my handsome husband :) I hope you will do the same!

You know I can't forget to cheer on my team...(I expect you to yell loudly with me)
