This weekend was a fun and emotionally productive one.
Friday
It was spent catching up with friends we hadn’t seen in ages. Seeing them was great, and we learned how to play shuffleboard, which was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, on our way home on the motorcycle, we were caught off guard by a sudden thunderstorm, so we were wet and freezing.
We came upon a car on the highway that was completely torn apart and lying in the median ditch. Surprisingly, there were no injuries, and only one man was involved. He seemed to be drunk. The police arrived soon after, and the man began crying, stating that he had only purchased the car earlier that month. It’s baffling how some people lack self-discipline, make horrible decisions, and still act surprised when there are consequences. Smh.
Saturday
We visited a new coffee shop and were amazed by its whimsical and romantic ambiance. This charming spot is in my hometown, which has a small population and small-town aesthetics. We both agreed that it’s our new favorite spot, and we’re eager to return.
Sunday
Presented with the opportunity, we attended the church where my late mother-in-law used to be a member. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the congregation was hospitable and kind. Following the service, we stopped at our favorite BBQ place for lunch. Then we came home for a quick outfit change and headed to the gym, where we spent the next couple of hours swimming. We slept well last night.
Time to connect
Joseph and I had a lovely weekend, and we spent most of our free time in deep conversations. These times are so fulfilling, and we have so much to talk about. We share many viewpoints on various subjects, so our discussions are often in agreement.
We share an eerily identical sense of humor, so we often laugh ridiculously at the drop of a hat. We discuss our pasts freely, and in doing so, we continue to heal each other from past hurts. We often express our contentment with where we are in life. We plan projects together, etc. The in-depth and meaningful discussions we have, no matter what we’re talking about, are incredibly important to the way we communicate as a couple. Reflecting on this brings a smile to my face.
