One day at a Mine...

Okay, it was more than one day... but it was a wonderful time...
This weekend my husband took me to Arkansas Diamond Crater, which is a public diamond mine... it was cold, wet, muddy, nasty weather with no diamonds to show for our trouble and yet in spite of that I had an awesome time... well ok, not awesome, but I would go back in a heartbeat and do it all over again with the exact same conditions if it meant spending time like that with my husband again. Strange though cause it wasn't really like he was being romantic or affectionate much over the weekend, but he had his moments... like driving he'd reach across to hold my hand, or watching a movie he was holding me (didn't give him much choice but he didn't bitch about it either like normal)... he was actually interested in doing something that was out of his normal scope, although he went about it in a way that I probably wouldn't have... still it was a good weekend, and one that I'm so thankful for... I guess I really need to make sure that he knows how thankful I am for his effort, maybe I'll write him a letter tomorrow...???

Oh and we got home to find the Sound System I'd ordered for him was in, so that was comical... Here's the conversation on Facebook:

John Raymond (Husband) so whats with the box labeled fragile and a hand drawn map to our house on the top of it?

John Raymond (Husband) you are intentionally ignoring my post aren't you....

John Raymond (Husband) ok...so Steph got me a Bose Home Theater Surround Sound System with the attachment for the two rear speakers to be run without being directly connected to the media center! Oh and she got a blue ray player thrown in on the package as well...only problem is...I'm probably gonna have to re-arrange the living room to try to figure out where I can put the speakers...worse problems to have I guess...THANK YOU BABE!!

Michael Thomas Johnson (Cousin)  That's better... young jedi;)

Stephenie Raymond Gee don't sound too enthusiastic or anything... but you are welcome dear...
