Who wouldn't love this?
When I got home, I canceled out any calories I burned by pouring 2 glasses of red wine; one for me and one for A.Lee. We sat outside on the newly renovated porch, faced the sunset and the lake, and talked. It's good for us. We talk about life and our goals. All I can do is point him to Scripture because I don't know what the future holds and my trust is not in myself anyway; it's in the Lord. Many mornings I like to send Andrew Scripture so that's the first thing he sees when he checks his email at work. I guess it just starts the day off right. He says it puts a lot of confidence in me and our relationship. I like that.
After we had a wonderful sunset talk, I made a Catholic Salad for me (recipe to come soon) and hopped on the couch to watch my recorded shows. Taking a sharp turn to white trash, I watched the Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion. Andrew hates this show. Hates it. He doesn't want me acting like these people. I tell him that I won't, and that it's just a guilty pleasure. Tosh.0 isn't exactly pure television watchin' either.
After that was over, I flipped the channel to 19 Kids and Counting. Andrew made the stunning observation that I couldn't get any more opposite in my tv show choices! I said, "I like this show. It makes me calm even with all those kids running around." I do like the Duggar's. And it does make me calm; peaceful. It makes me want to make my own laundry detergent, home school my 19 kids, play several musical instruments, and live life off of our land. Then I see a fabulous piece of jewelry I have to have. Maybe I'm not so "Duggar", but I want to have their wonderful, calming attitude. With maybe 4 kids...and I could try to make my own laundry detergent...and I could learn a few instruments...and we could pray to be blessed with lots of land one day.
I guess I could lift up my glass of red wine, and toast to being {sort of} like the Duggar's! What a contradiction!
Sounds like a delightful evening. Red wine. Good talks. Nice.
ReplyDeleteYour TV shows are hilarious. Love it.I think we all carry our own set of contradictions. People are so complex.
So funny! I just found a yoga place in Searcy. Going next week.
ReplyDeleteMichael feels the same way about all the Housewives, but he definitely sat down and watched the reunion with me Monday!
My mom keeps reminding me that the Duggars live in Arkansas, but I think she is just hinting for a grand-baby.
