I'm Back! (Again) and A Romantic Weekend In The Woods

I decided I am going to try to keep up with this blog again.  I have started a new homeschool blog and have put most of my posts over there, but I think I will try to keep general/family posts here and school related posts there.  Hopefully it will work out and I won't neglect either one.  :)  So, last weekend, my sweet hubby and I took off with our new camper and no kids to Stone Mountain for a much needed weekend alone. Greg had taken the whole week off to use up some vacation, but we didn't head out until Thursday.  Now, by his own admission, my darling husband was a bit on edge in the beginning of the week (or as he put it, "shouty and stabby") so I wasn't real sure I wanted to be cooped up in a camper with him for four days if you know what I mean.  Well, it turns out that the time away was just what we needed.  We were both a little stressed me with the end of school stuff, him with work stuff, but in the end being together always helps us focus on what is truly important.  Unfortunately we both realized as soon as we got there that we had forgotten the camera.  We had so much fun relaxing, feeding squirrels and ducks, walking around the campground, taking short naps during the day, cooking together, playing games.  Just quality time being together.  I honestly think it was better than staying in a hotel for a weekend. Now, I am a luxury girl through and through, but when you are camping there are no distractions like TV, we didn't answer cell phones and  didn't use computers.  Hopefully we will get a chance to do that again sometime.  I love having time to completely focus on my sweet hubby.
