InSync

With a bunch of friends this summer we all got to discussing what made our marriages tick? What was it about us a couples that really made it work with our partner? That kept us together? Made us unique as a couple?

This was an easy one for me.There are two areas that come to mind when it comes to Hubby and I. The first is our commitment to our family as a unit. We make decisions together, we align, we plan, we care about our family and their well being above and beyond anything in our lives. Our marriage in and of itself is a top priority and always has been. And secondly:....
 

Protector and I are completely in sync.

And this is what I love about us as a couple most. I adore it actually.

This weekend would be the perfect illustration of what I talking about. Three luscious days to ourselves while my Mom graciously watches over our kids in the city. We took a vacation day Friday and leave tonight at 5pm.

We do this every year early September for the last decade even at our other cottage. Every year in hopes of grabbing our last summer days for boating before our fall begins. For us there is a huge difference between summer weekends and fall weekends…summer relaxing…Fall the most  not relaxing ever.

So this weekend we had high hopes of the last summer weather and had no such luck. Cold and freezing, rain,wind. And we totally made the best of it. In sync like always. We love all the same things. Our perfect day is identical. In these vacation mode situations we are almost identical twins.

So here was our insync weekend. Friday had two naps on dock. Read. Went on computers. Watched movie on screened in porch. Went on computers. Read. Ate. Had yummy dessert. Had another nap. Went in Jacuzzi. Ate some food somewhere in between probably at midnight. Stayed in our pyjamas all day.

Saturday-wake up and go on computers in bed for two hours. Went for 3 hour walk and lunch to village in hike through forest. Came back and read on dock and had long nap until 7:30pm on bali bed with huge blankets on us. Watched movie outside with huge blankets on us and a heater. Had homemade chop suey for dinner. Went in Jacuzzi twice. Went to bed at 1am and decided we were not tired and read until 2:30am.

Sunday-took over two hours to wake up and say to each other over and over “wanna get up?”  “in 5 minutes”

Rest of day TBD. We actually broke our cardinal rule today of vacation of" don't do things that could stress us and ruin our relaxing time". And we did unsequester ourselves and now are paying the price with some bullshit of the external world. Oh well we live and learn. Sequestering next time.

Anyways we lead a strange lives when we relax. Completely out of sync with the rest of the world and completely in sync with one another. And during the weekdays we are 100 percent on schedule with the rest of the world and normal people. We present a united, organized, fairly put together front.

This is us and I would never wish it any other way. It's our personal brand together.

And that is what I love about us.

What is it about you and yours that makes you tick????????
