My three babes are sound asleep right now and it is nice to enjoy a few moments of silence to myself. Michael told me to wake him up five minutes ago, but I am going to let him sleep a little longer as he needs it. CFA studies will consume the rest of his Saturday afternoon.
Sometimes I wonder what we got ourselves into here in CA, 2 hours commuting everyday and busy job, plus CFA exam looming over us, among many other things (new baby on the way, busy church callings, classes, fatigue and doctors appointments galore (mine and Ambyr's)). I feel like I hardly ever see my husband; can't remember the last time we went on a date; and eating dinner together as a family during the week disappeared several years ago. But just to have him asleep on the couch next to me brings so much comfort and reassurance. I know he is doing his very best to take care of us (and I am so grateful he doesn't have to work weekends, too). Things are usually crazy for 6 months of every year, but when summer time rolls around, things start to slow down and we love to spend more time together as a family. I just have to think, on days when he doesn't come home until midnight, and into bed until 2 a.m., where would I be without him?
