hello friends! this labor day weekend has brought some much rest for the martin family. i have been sick with a cold and shane has been running ragged so it was so good to just slow down and take time to enjoy each other. we spent most of saturday sleeping and sunday was a great day filled with church and lunch with some great people from church. sunday night was a really great time for us. we spent time enjoying the world of rhapsody.com where you can download different songs from the internet. it's amazing after 10 years of knowing each other, 4 of those being married, there are still things you learn about your spouse. shane introduced me to his fiery passion for the likes of muddy waters and other blues artists. i knew shane loved the blues, but i didn't know how educated he was on the topic. i in turn introduced him to the gloriousness that is van morrison and truly opened up about my closeted love for neil diamond. yes...i said neil diamond, what of it?? then, of course, we shared some moments and truly bad vocal renditions of songs we enjoyed from our childhoods like music from johnny cash, conway twitty and even a little buffett. shane about fell out of his chair at my vocal stylings of juice newton's "angel of the morning." by the way, isn't it totally inappropriate that i know that song now, not to mention from when i was a wee lass?? this evening we went outside with milly and shane taught me how to play lawn darts. i didn't know there was such a thing, but i have since been enlightened and very badly beaten. i am currently plotting my revenge. anyway, it's moments like those that i will remember forever. for me it's not always the big, elaborate moments in life that are the most special. it's the smaller ones like sharing your favorite tunes (very badly i must say) or being demolished in lawn darts by the one you love that makes life truly special. i hope your labor day weekend was filled with moments like mine.
peace and love.
