A Joyful Heart

The other night, Matt took a page out of my book. He went up at just after 9 p.m. to shower, get ready for bed and then read until 10 p.m. before calling it a night. Before heading up to our room, he announced his plan (I liked that :). 

By the time I finished what I was doing and was ready for bed, he was already reading. I got in bed to read as well. Before reaching for my book, I couldn't help giving him some attention. He was laying on his side away from me, comfortable and focused. 

His

Hers

For those of you who know me well, it doesn't surprise you to hear that I put my arms around him and started in with some sweet words :) He gave me a sweet response, but I quickly backed up into my spot apologizing for interrupting his reading. That's when he made me laugh. Hysterically. 

He said, loudly, "Yeah, woman! I can't believe you'd interrupt me when I'm reading my marriage book...how dare you try to be close to me when I'm trying to learn how to be a better husband?! What are you thinking?!" he continued pretending to rail as I threw my head back in laughter.

I love how he makes me laugh...
