Wow! I just got back from spending an awesome weekend in Atlanta with my wife. One word – awesome! Last Friday afternoon at work, I was finishing up some work after meeting with some clients and I received a phone call from one of Stephanie’s friends telling me I need to talk to my paralegal before I leave the office. Needless to say, I was totally confused. Why would Stephanie’s friend tell me to talk to my paralegal, and how does she know my paralegal’s name? Then, it hit me – my paralegal was off today, so how was I going to see her.
Well, after I stepped back from my confusion, I called my paralegal and she told me to go into her office and look in a super secret hiding place. There I found a letter from my wife. To paraphrase, she told me to go home and pack my stuff that she had taken care of a babysitter for the weekend and we were heading down to Atlanta for a weekend of rest and relaxation – just the two of us.
We haven’t been able to go anywhere by ourselves since last August when our son was born. It was definitely a welcome weekend. A chance to get away with my wife and spend some time with her, alone. We got a chance to spend the weekend doing some cool stuff like checking out the Georgia Aquarium, we slept in and got a chance to sleep through the night without waking up a couple of times to comfort the baby. And my favorite part – dinner Saturday night at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Awesome!
I thought I was doing good last week planning a date night with Stephanie, and here she goes showing me up by planning a whole weekend. I guess I need to work a little harder. This was definitely straight out of Song of Solomon 7:11:
Come, my lover, let us go to the countryside,
let us spend the night in the villages.
What an awesome thing it is to have a Godly wife!
