The water has reached our ankles.

This weekend my husband was able to indulge one of his favorite passions. No not me,…. well maybe a bit of me!

He is a soccer fanatic, and he was able to enjoy a little time away watching his favorite team. I entertained myself by having dinner with a friend. We enjoyed conversation, cooking and drinking wine together. Always fun!

 When my husband returned I was happy to plan our remaining weekend time. Since our children are older we have more hours to ourselves. This intermittent stage in our lives allows us to concentrate on us---our time with one another.

 During a normal week life is crazy and at night we both fall into lazy habits, me reading, and him on Facebook or watching TV.  He works so incredibly hard and such long hours, I feel he needs to decompress so we are both cognizant that that’s okay, needed even. Yet, we want a great weekend with activities and social entertainment.

This brings me to a new tradition we both cherish; on Sunday morning my husband I have begun a little activity, bike riding together. I know what you were thinking. (That’s something we enjoy as well) We find that connection time with each other makes our weekend, and sets us up for the week ahead.

I begin teaching soon so I know my life will become very busy so I am embracing the time alone with him.

Anyway back to the bike ride…. We started out on a great path near our home. It is quite deserted on a Sunday morning and we can go a good distance not seeing anyone. We talk about us, the kids (This time soccer! LOL) anything we feel like. It is just absolutely lovely.

At one point I say, “so what do you feel like doing the rest of the day?” His answer was, “I want to spank you and thennnn……yes… he said it out loud. I said honey shhhhh what if someone hears. He responds, “so what, it doesn’t look like anyone is around, and anyway if someone hears they don’t know us!!!”

 Yeesh. I have created a monster. Albeit, a lovable one.

We  continued our 20 mile ride…. 20 miles!! Yes... we needed a nap later. That was not code word for something else. We slept!!

 We enjoyed the closing ceremonies, delaying our adult time since teen #1 was in the house until late evening.

 Adult time eventually arrived!

Well he took things up a level! I was like, ouch, my legs may have kicked up a bit. For a moment I thought….I want this? Then things settled in and I thought …uh huh. Yep! All is good.

Later I asked him about kicking things up a definite notch. He said…. yeah, I am not so worried about really hurting you anymore.

Hmmmmmm!

It was all good maybe instead of toe tipping, the water may have reached our ankles. J

Thanks for listening,
