love dare day 18 finally

Okay.....so I've been away a little bit, but here I am. Life has been crazy around here, but I'm still choosing to love my husband no matter what. Since Jim was on the road on day 18, we did it this past Sunday. Day 18 I was to make him dinner and talk about his dreams and goals for the future. Strange we've been married almost 23 years and we've never really talked about our dreams. We've set goals together as we've went, but dreams weren't something we talked much about. It was such a great time to talk about it too. We have one child about to get married and the other is just over a year from graduating high school.......so we're getting close to entering into the next phase of our life together.......empty nesters. I've always cringed at the thought, because so much of my life has been dedicated to raising Godly children and I not only love my kids......I really really like them. I'm going to miss them alot when they're gone. But talking about "our" dreams for this time really made me realize how much I'm looking forward to that time with Jim. We talked about alot of things, going on an alaskan cruise(which we've wanted to do for awhile now) going traveling around the US with our travel trailer and ministering to people we meet. There are some organizations he's heard about in that area that would be great for that. Getting out of debt(something we've been working on) building an educational fund for our grandchildren(something we didn't do so well for our own children). Spending time having fun together. It was so much fun to talk about all these dreams. We talked alot about our relationship too and the amazing things God is doing in us. I feel so incredibly blessed.
