Out of the blue...

I am home alone right now.. so I have time to think!  Yesterday morning, around 4 o'clock, I got up with John.  He was heading out this early because he had to drive a truck for Rona to Ft. Nelson.  He left around 6 o'clock for what should have been a 12 hour trip.  But, he got stuck in Prince George... at the scales.  He was overweight.  It took 2 tries and a $450 fine, before he was on his way.  I talked to him at 7:30 and he was only in Ft. St. John, 4 hours away from destination.  So that would've made a 12 hour trip, an 18 hour trip!  Well, last night I slept like a baby.  Thanks to my genetics, that doesn't happen very often.  But today, with all this time to think, I miss him.. like crazy.   And for that I am so thankful.  That after 9 years of marriage, we complete each other's sentences, we see things the same way, and say things at the same time.  We have the same dreams, some of the same hobbies ( hunting, camping, fishing, etc.).  We both have our days where we enjoy other people's company, while sometimes, we enjoy lengths of time without  visiting anyone.  We are also so different, eg. he is NOT a morning person, I am.. in fact, he was complaining that I go to bed so early that by the time i am 50, I am going to be an "old" person!  Another example is how we get ready to go out. I get myself and the girls ready, so that we are ready 15 minutes before we have to leave.  John will start getting ready to leave 15 minutes before.  That could include showering, shaving and getting dressed.  I am sure there are more, but I will not bore you with them. 
Isn't it so sad that there is so little value to marriage nowadays.  I will not lie, it is alot of work, selfless work.
So my point being:  I am very thankful that my marriage continues to grow.  I think that the major growth started about 4 years ago, when we both gave our life to Jesus.  Being able to depend on Him for EVERYTHING has taken alot of stress out of our relationship. So my thanks go to God, who has blessed us with each other and our 2 daughters, which in my eyes, is my perfect family!
