TJ "casually" questioned me about Valentine's Day while we were playing with the kids last night. Him: "Do you want your Valentine's gift now?" Me: Chuckle a bit. "Like you really have one now anyway. It's still 3 weeks away!" He sits quietly and continues to press buttons on his phone while the kids drive trucks around him. Me: "Do you really have one already? Wow! I'm impressed!" He changes the subject and we continue to play with the kids. A while later we trek downstairs for a snack before the kids get ready for a bath. H: "Would you believe me if I told you we got into the Wilds?" (We were 10th on a waiting list to attend a couples' conference the weekend of Valentine's Day). M: "No way! I don't believe you! Seriously?" He proceeds to show me the email on his phone that confirms his statement. Yeah, we got in! I am so excited! The speakers for the retreat are Ron and Shelly Hamilton. Many years...
