The Dance

Well, with Ann-Marie officially enjoying her "baby-moon", I decided that I would step in and post a little something. Now, I am not near the blogger that she is, but I will do my best. :-)

Marriage is tough, but today was a day that made me remember how precious each moment really is and how much I love my husband.

We've been married for almost 9 years and have three beautiful children. There are not a lot of days that we have two seconds to take for ourselves and we often cross paths except for late at night when we are both usually exhausted from a long day. This morning was different.

As we were all sitting around in our pj's, kids included, my 4 year old found a cd and placed it in the DVD player. It was just an old mix cd, and I am not even sure where she found it. We watched as the kids danced around the room laughing and singing, and then.....a song came one....

It was "The Dance" by Garth Brooks.

Oddly enough, I hadn't heard this song in YEARS!!! A rush of memories came flooding back from those dating years, and I remembered that this was the first song we ever danced to. My husband grabbed my hands and took me to the dance floor (currently our living room), and we shared a dance. Although, the setting was quite different, including the three little ones who were attached to our legs through the dance, the memories and the feelings that made me fall in love were all there.

It's amazing how there are those days where you feel it in your soul....the love that you have for another person and those feelings can overwhelm you. With that, I hope that each of you have a moment today to relive your "dance".
