Quality Time

I sat in the living room of my now in-laws watching a family movie. The problem was it not a family movie and bonding time. Sure the TV was on but no one was really connecting. Everyone had their own computer, cell phone, and ipod on their lap watching a movie. 

I remember telling Roger that even though that floats in their family, it is not something I will do. When I want family time, I want real family time. Roger agreed that we would do things differently. ( I am not bashing on my in-laws at all, they just do things in their own way) 

Well this weekend was one of those moments that we did differently. I left my cell phone and computer at home and enjoyed 48 hours with my husband. We "ran away" to a hotel room and got lost in conversation. I know that we see each other every day but there is something about being in a different environment that really draws Roger and I together.

I think there is something very healthy about spending time alone without electronics with your loved ones. We are so consumed with power buttons and always being connected to the outside world, that a break needed from time to time.

I am not gong to share the details of our weekend here because I want this to be a memory that Roger and I cherish forever. I will share this picture, it is one of my favorite memories of us. Just laying on our bed, crazy lost in conversation sipping on our favorite drink. Roger gets me. He knows the difference between my laughs, he understands my crazy thoughts sometimes before I even say them. He makes my life everything that I want it to be. I am just absolutely crazy about this man.
