This past week was a good week. Nothing special. Nothing really planned. Just time together. Relaxing, doing some chores and just spending time together.
Josh and I started off the week by going to the Corvette plant on his birthday. We both really liked it. The absolute coolest part was at the end of the tour when a Corvette went screaming by us, revving his engine, and giving a show to all Corvette lovers.
And then throughout the week, we spent a good amount of time at the track and at the gym. Josh used the week to build his stamina and strength for May when it counts. The meet on Saturday was not Josh's best effort, due to soreness and tiredness, however his times were respectable and he learned a valuable lesson about long-term goals and giving up immediate glory for long-term results.
We also had a few opportunities to meet up with Spencer and have a couple of meals together. Spencer also went to Josh's track meet to support him. As I write this blog, Spencer's band, The WhiteWall Gentlemen, is rated number one in the nation in a college battle of the bands concert. Way to go guys!
Along with the small chores and "honey-do's", Dena and I spent time time relaxing and simply spending time together. Sometimes it's just good to unwind.
But, despite the fact that this week was not spectacular by any means, it was still an enjoyable week. I loved spending time with my family. I enjoyed working together. And I feel a great sense of pride when the boys use their talents and do well. And sometimes I wonder if God feels the same way about us.
I think He does.
