Busy. Busy, busy, busy. It seems we are always busy.
Alone, I’m often busy with work, caring for the beagles, catching up on sleep, and of course, taking photographs.
My darling husband Jake is even more busy than I with work, 12-14 hour days five days a week, and then of course attempting to sleep and spend time at home.
As a couple, we try our hardest to find time to spend with our family and our friends, doing wedding photography, and not neglecting our precious dogs. We really only get the weekends to spend together doing things, and every other weekend, it’s only on Sunday. It’s amazing the things we find time to do- weekend trips, double dates, dog park visits, wedding photography, etc. Our schedules are often booked months in advance. I can tell you what we’re doing each weekend now through the third weekend in July.
What it seems we cannot find time to do is spend time together, just the two of us, no distractions, and no one else.
This past weekend, we set aside one full day to be together. Just the two of us (and Wendell and Vivian for part of the day) to reconnect, spend time together doing things, and doing nothing at all. To cuddle, to kiss, to go to the park, to go to the zoo, to watch a movie… to talk. To laugh. To smile. To hug.
And let me tell you, that one day together was worth more to me than the last month’s activities combined. If I felt I could remember further back than that, I can bet you it was worth more than even then added to it.
I cannot wait for our next day together. The Mr. & Mrs.
