can i please share with you?

about the BEST 1 1/2 hours of my week...and probably my month??

it happened on Monday (Labor Day)

it was naptime. naptime in our house is from 1-4 pm. 3 hours. (really, rebekah and joshua just rest from 1-3 pm but just go with me here.)

pat had football practice at 1 pm. he was SO excited. this man lives for football.

but i wanted some time too.

so, we agreed to split naptime. 1 1/2 hours for him, 1 1/2 hours for me.

he went to football practice and was home at 2:30 on the dot (he left practice early for me - you don't understand what an act of love this was!)

i was ready to go.

where did i go? the pool.

it was the last day the pool was open. i had my towel, my goggles, and 4 books.

that was it!

got there, put my towel and books on a chair and hopped in the pool.

i swam 16 laps (1/2 mile!) and it felt so good.

then i sat and read for an hour. i read a few pages of each book - kind of silly, i know.

what books did i read? are you wondering?

this, this, this, and this

i know, i'm all over the board, huh??

it was heavenly. and the best 1 1/2 hours in a long time!
