Friday, January 30, 2009 at 12:00AM We ordered a new stove. The installers would be coming during the day while my husband was at work. I mentioned this event to acquaintance and she commented that her husband would never let her be home along in their house with unknown males. I’m not sure is this is sweetly protective or a tad hyper protective.
What do you think?

I love A Christmas Story. I just can't watch his favorite one more time.
Bless him, the teens all perfer to watch A Christmas Story with me. They will watch It's A Wonderful Life with their dad on the off chance there really is a Santa and they need the good kid points.
Thank goodness we both perfer colored lights on the tree and roast beef for Christmas dinner or it would get tense around here.
Which do you perfer, It's A Wonderful Life or A Christmas Story? Something else?

It is fun to be in a long established marriage and your guy can still surprise you. This year was our 25th wedding anniversary and my husband surprised me with a trip to a beautiful Bed and Breakfast in the mountains of North Carolina. That was sort of an expected surprise. I knew it was our anniversary and we had talked about doing something special. When he pop the B&B plans I was delighted by such a thoughtful 25 anniversary present.
Sometimes he can pull an out of the blue surprise and impress the socks off me. Years ago, he started a magazine to review Christian books. The business didn’t work out as we had hope but it was a great adventure. He allowed Ebenezer to play travel hockey again. While not pleased with, I was impressed by his decision.
This last weekend he was a chaperon for our church sponsor lock-in at the game park. If you don’t know what a lock-in is: You gather as many high school kids as will come in a specific location over night for a specific purpose. You have an abundant amount of responsible adults on hand to make sure that the kids stick to the stated purpose of the event and don’t try to create their own purposes for gathering in mass over night.
There were 130 kids signed up for the lock-in. That means anywhere from 50 to179 kids might show up. They had 210 more or less show up. My husband said the kids were great. A few were timed out by the park staff for aggressive go-cart driving. Some attempted to use the putt-putt course as a driving range. No one tried to behave in a potentially reproductive manner or attempted to drink or smoke or fight, behaviors often seen when large groups of teens gather. My kids reported a smattering profanity. Not all the kids were enthralled with the devotion time but honestly, that most of the kids paid attention was amazing.
Even though we serve in various capacities at church, I was surprised that my husband took on the challenge of chaperoning a lock-in populated with more teens than we encounter in a month. He volunteered, he did it with a great attitude, he was a blessing to others and I was totally surprised by his decision to serve in this capacity and equally happy he didn’t ask me to be a chaperon also.
After 25 years, he can still surprise me. I think that is kinda sexy.
Does your husband still surprise you?
