Sinking In

Over the weekend, the men around here did a lot of golfing.  I mean, a lot.  That left The Girl and I with a lot of time to ourselves.  So we decided to do fun things together.

On Friday we went to an early bird showing of How to Train Your Dragon 2.  I loved this one.  Maybe even more than the first one.  So cute--and with a twist I had heard about but still made me happy.  We grabbed some lunch and ran some errands.  Then we decided to do fun stuff again on Saturday.

The boys were still playing golf.  It was tournament.  Yeah, whatever.

So we went to he movies again and saw Maleficient at the early bird show.  It was so good.  I didn't expect to like it as I don't care for Angelina Jolie that much, but the story was really surprising.  And I loved it.  Then we stopped at Old Navy for their storewide sale--and EVERYTHING I tried on fit!  That has never happened.  In fact, one thing was too big!  Wowzer!  Then we stopped for some fish and chips--since the boys don't like Purple Turtle.  Delish!!  Plus we used a 2-4-1 coupon.  then we decided to come home finished some chores and go to the local dollar movies and see Captain America:Winter Soldier.  I loved that one too.

It was just a fun couple of days.  Just me and my girl.

Sunday it hit me that I don't have many of these kind of days left with her.  She'll be leaving for her mission in September, and will be gone for 18 months.  then she might be home fro a few months before heading back to university to finish her studies.  then she will likely be gone for graduate school--who knows where--or married, or whatever else people do as grown up adult children.

My days with her are numbered.  So I'd bette rmake them count.

I'm just glad I took the time to just be with her while we had the time together.  I didn't get caught up in all the "stuff I should do".  Because, in the grand scheme of things, the stuff I should be doing, is being with my girl.  And it was great.
