Mar. 9, 2006 - Fun Ford weekend......
Well I just returned from an awesome weekend away with my husband. We drove to Orlando for the Fun Ford weekend, and it was so much fun. Its basically a weekend full of car stuff. Car shows, cars souvenoirs, car swap meet and, of course, car racing. YEAH!! For some reason, the smells alone excite me. There is nothing like the smells of exhaust fumes and burnt rubber. Go figure....
After the day of fun there, we spent the rest of the time at my in-laws house. They came to our house to watch our children and we got their house to ourselves. The bonus to that is, they live at the beach. So we got to walk on the beach, and ride the four-wheeler. Then we just lounged around watching cable and cooked out some delicious steaks for dinner. 
It was all soooooo relaxing, and much needed for both of us. Im hopeing this weekend was the kick-off for us to start having more Misty/Aaron time and not all Mom/Dad time. Yes, Mom/Dad time is okay too, but it cant always be that way. We find ourselves in this really tough spot of our marriage right now, and its really hard to deal with and work on when you dont even fell like you know that person anymore. How can we know each other like we used to, if we never, ever spend alone time together? We work and do school, run errands, basically do all the things we are supposed to do but forget that OUR relationship has to be tended to as well. Date nights or even just date days have to become more of a necessity. No more excuses of no time or money, cause guess what, it will cost us a lot more that if we were to continue to neglect our relationship and have our marriage end. But for now we are realizing the importance of alone time and with Gods help we can do it. This weekend was just a small taste, and Im very excited and hopeful for the future.

I feel just horrible that some thought I was "advertising" in some way when my intention was to share with other homeschoolers what I was offering as encouragement and a way for us to join together.
If you are one who was upset by my post, please feel free to delete it and email me or leave a comment on my page and I will personally apologize. To those who have joined in The Challenge, I'm so looking forward to what the Lord has in store for us and hope we will all be able to bless our families and grow in the Lord through it! Thank you most importantly for seeing my heart. I never meant to disregard anyone's post when I left the comment about the Challenge, and want you all to know that anything you ever have to say to me, whether on topic or not, is more than welcome on my blog. I will also be making a new category on my blog that will list those of you who don't mind getting urgent prayer requests or information from time to time. I hope this way I will be able to avoid upsetting anyone similarly in the future.
Thanks for allowing me to comment on your blog. I hope you will accept my apology (and not be upset that I'm "off topic" from your post, but I have many people to get to still tonight).
In Him,
Amy Verlennich
