Girls/Guys Weekend

As much as we enjoy all of our time together, I think it's understandable to say that every now and then it's healthy to have a night apart. This weekend we enjoyed some separate girl and guy time. Cody headed off to Bastrop for a guys' bachelor camping trip, while my cousin Rachel came in to stay with me for some long overdue girl time. As Cody burned in the abundant sunshine and fought off the flies and mosquitoes (don't get the wrong idea, camping is absolutely his thing -it just is also absolutely not mine!), Rachel and I ate Chinese food, watched a chick-flick, and baked two batches of brownies! It was all quite glorious. Saturday night I went to stay at my parents after Rachel left and after an enjoyable dinner with Sue and Steve,(due to the unfortunate fact that I am such a wimp I cannot stay alone in my own apartment while my husband is gone) and Sunday around eleven Cody came back into town. Sometimes it makes me feel silly that I miss him so much after just two nights apart, but more than that it reminds me how blessed I am to have him and to be in such a wonderful marriage that I can't wait for us to be reunited after a measly two days. In a marriage you truly become one and being apart makes you feel incomplete. Nonetheless, we both enjoyed fun weekends, and I can't wait for another girl weekend with my cousin!
