Hello,
We had to come back to the real world after our nice and quiet getaway. It was so nice just to have conversations that weren't interrupted by a "Mommy" or Daddy". Although we missed them a lot and it was strange not to have them there we really enjoyed the time at the cabin. We fished, grilled steak and shrimp, had a fire outside and watched the sunset. Ken got the lawn mowed and we got the cover on the boat lift. I caught four fish, only sunnys but it was fun. The kids were very glad to see us and came screaming to the door, it almost made me cry and Drew said,"Mom, you missed me?" It was so sweet!!!
Everybody needs a little time like this so reflect and have some quiet time and just time to talk. It is great for a great relationship. We had a chance to talk about all that is going on in our lives and how we can handle them.
We talked a lot about Mom and how LUCKY she was that her cancer was caught early and that her margins were clear. Our prayers have done great things in the past and now we pray for strength for her and Dad as we all face her road ahead. It is important to remember the good things they have said about her cancer and that the chemo is a precaution. Her mother had cancer at 32 or so and lived another 48 years. I told Mom that then she should live to be 105!! She didn't think she wanted to live quite that long.
Anyway, thanks for your support and keeping up on our blog!!
Love,
Krista

Hey,
Glad to hear you had such a nice weekend. Where is the cabin? I love going to our family cabin. It is just the right distance also.
Hope you enjoy the next week. It looks like the weather is supposed to be nice.
Hey - I am glad that you and Ken had a good time at the cabin. I really think the two of you needed the alone time. There has been a lot going on and that can be very trying on relationships.
Shannon and I did our first 5:00am workout today! It was hard but I think it will be nice once we get in the habit!
Talk to you later!
Luv, Stacy
You and Ken are so smart to get away alone. The husband and wife relationships have a way of being put on the back burner, some times couples never take time to renew their relationship s with each other to talk about life and how to handle them as you and Ken have done. That is so important in a marriage. It is also a learning process for the children to experience some things without mom and dad making all the choices for them.
I think the ones that never take that time sometimes end up being sorry for it later. To much stress and never talking it out, just react to things....Start judging each others actions.
Sounds like you had a loving weekend.
Aren't these times Great !!!
I think 105 might be a good age, we could have wheel chair races!!
You think??
Take care, see you all soon.
Love,
