A to Z Challenge: C is for Cuddling

C is for Cuddling

 

Yesterday, I pulled into my driveway after school.   Before I even got out of the car I got a text message.  I debated on opening it or just leaving it until I got my car unpacked and got everything settled.  I am glad I opened it.  The text was from my sweetheart, my husband, the love of my life. He was just letting me know he was glad I was home.  

As I approached the front door, he opened the door, emptied my hands and hugged me.  I love a nice warm sweet welcome home.  It gets even better we ate take out and just snuggled awhile on the couch.  When I finally pulled away to write a science test, I realized all of my stresses and worries for the day had melted in my husbands embrace.

Battling the Flu

This past week has been a challenge for me!  I caught the flu, it got stuck in my net and I couldn't release it.  I don't remember ever sleeping so much in my life! 

It made me so grateful for so many things!  I am so thankful for modern medications that help to relieve fevers and coughing, for thermometers, a soft bed in a warm house, a husband willing to serve-to make sure I ate and kept hydrated, for a daughter who helped with dishes and house work, for a salaried job with built in sick days, for technology to plan a lesson for a sub that can be sent digitally that does not have to be hand delivered, for a wonderful Relief Society counselor-willing to step up and teach an unexpected lesson, for students who behaved better-knowing I didn't feel well, for get well cards, prayers and kindness shown to just another traveler on life's journey.

A Kayaking Partner

My sweet husband whisked me away for an over night paddling/camping trip!!! There were no kids, no computers, no television, no radio,  no telephone, no cooking, no dishes, no nothing. 

It was so peaceful, being alone together in nature.  Did you ever notice that sunsets are always more beautiful over water?
