Bonfire anyone?

It's been a quiet house this weekend. It is alot more quiet then it ever use to be and it's taken alot to get use to. With three daughters married in 29 months our home changed rather quickly. Today Tim and I decided we would go for a walk/hike at one of the big metro parks. Since the weather has finally cooled off it made the walk so much more enjoyable. We were talking about life along the way, as most couples do when they take a walk. I like how Tim put it when I asked him if he missed having younger children around, he said "well, we had fun but now we are at a different phase in our life - we get to spend more time with each other but we will also can do more pouring into others."

On our hike today I took this picture. We stopped and just looked for a moment at the dark colors of the trees trunk and the stark green leaves. It is so beautiful.

Last night Angela had the great idea to go outside to look at the stars. As we lay on the blanket, cuddling up with each other we were in awe as we watched shooting stars through the sky. One was so bright and went all the way across. It was awesome. We were quietly laying there when suddenly, right behind me I heard a "meow". Scared me so much that when I yelled the cat must have run far away. Hopefully he will stay gone, he's been hanging around our house way too long anyway.

Well that's about all for today. Not much profound but just a little for me to remember.

Anybody want to come over tonight for a bonfire?
