The thing about both of us working is that there are some weeks where both of us are super busy and I am incapable of doing anything more than coming home and doing the bare minimum before plopping down on the sofa. Those days are rare though. I make it a point never to bring work home. I might stay late to make sure that my work gets done, but I won't come home and continue working. I might sit in front of the TV though, but I kind of like the idea of a clear distinction between work and home. Which is why I could never work from home. But I digress.
Most times R is way more busy than I am. He manages a team and rarely has relaxing days. But last week was different. I was swamped with work while his client took a week break making it almost a holiday week for him. Every day we went to work together. He dropped me off at work and then went to the Starbucks to work on other stuff. He would pick me up at lunch time and we would got to the park and have home-packed lunch together. And then we would drive back home late in the evening together.
I had a stressful work week. I was working on a brand new project. I was going where no man or woman in our company had gone before. In an area where I had no experience at all. My panic level was at an all time high. R is my biggest de-stresser. He gets these panic calls and he talks me through it and calms me down. So it was an incredible blessing to have him free when I needed him the most. One evening we walked around in the mall, bought Godiva chocolates (heavenly, even for a non-chocolate lover like me) and watched a movie. We ate out every evening for the 5 days. We did not eat anywhere fancy just shared one Chipotle bol. We went to Borders and pored over books on Europe travel which we are hoping to do this summer. And later into the evening we walked hand in hand on the floating bridge in the park. We talked about our plans and dreams for the future. We sat on the bench, watched the birds on the water and had beautiful silences together. As Anne says in one of the Green Gables series, I cannot improve it with imagination even.

He sounds like a real treasure!
This post made me smile. :o)
Isn't it great to have a husband who is there to support you?!? ;)
Aw... I wanted to comment when I read your post but hubby wanted the computer and I forgot about til now. That's so sweet! Aren't good husbands a blessing from the Lord? Too bad there isn't a Proverb about that like there is about wives.
You and I must have the same path of blog hopping. A lot of places I go, you've been there and left a comment with the thought of what I was going to comment. We should meet in real life sometime and see if we say the same things at the same time. ;)
Which one was that, Lizzy?
And it would be fun to meet you in real life. You and Jonathan make a trip to Orlando sometime. :)
