Good morning, if you noticed a curious lack of the marriage blog week in review, I have to plead guilty. I wrote most of it, but yesterday, my daughter had a birthday party and we went out together to attend. It was a roller skating party and for those of you who follow my fitness blog posts, you know that my daughter and I have been roller-skating a great deal frequently, well we enjoyed ourselves roller-skating, but I was whipped after an hour and half on the skates and my legs felt like spaghetti. I’ll talk more about that in the fitness blog later today.
We came home, we napped and then she asked to go to the library and we spent a rainy afternoon there digging through the books looking for some favorites – by the time I got home, I had simply forgotten. So for those of you, who were waiting for my week in review, please accept my apologies. We’re a day late, but here is the last Marriage Blog Week in Review for January.
