Friday nights in Little Rock are almost always just us ... an easy home-cooked meal and a kids movie to help keep the kids up a bit later than their normal bedtime of 7:30pm in a measly effort of getting a little sleep-in time the following morning. Sam even begged to go to bed last night at 9pm because he was so tired. While we used to stay up late, Doug is often in bed before 10:30 in an effort to be ready to run in the morning with the LR Running Club that meets at 5:30/6am. Since we're home, I tend to catch up on laundry and finish cleaning so that I can be "done" too for the week. We now look forward to Friday nights because it signals the end of school/work week and a chance to relax from the schedule that drives us.
The rest of the weekend is different too ... Saturdays (when Doug is not travelling) are leisurely. No youth activities or church obligations to fill our time. It's truly a play/catch up day and helps us prepare for Sunday as a day of rest (and football) before we start the week again. We do find ourselves a bit bored sometimes on Sundays ... especially Sunday nights when we'd be with the youth (in the past) while the boys would be with the other kids at church.
Gettin' used to the new routine here ... all to change again in seven months. Wink.
I like your new routine. You were ready for a change,it always makes us better. Your change again in seven months will be a whirl wind and you just might wish at times you had the simpler routine. Hugs. love ya and miss you.

Crystal...yesterday Joshua said that he could not wait until May. I asked him what is in May? He looked at me and smiled and said that is when Sam and Zach are coming back. I thought it was super sweet because it was completely out of the blue.
