Last week I was chatting to a friend and admitting that Jamie and I were pretty anxious people, mainly because we set crazy deadlines for ourselves with impossible projects, you know, like building an expedition vehicles to ship to the other side of the world just before world war three breaks out. She countered with: 'at least you've managed to hold down a relationship for twenty years'.

Hell yeah.

That's something of a miracle.

To look forward to a weekend just because you get to hang out with your husband is a testament to a good marriage. We were talking to another mate who has a whole year long service leave with his wife, and he was saying they were holidying in different countries because they'd already been to Japan for a week together this year.

What's the point of being married if you don't like hanging out together?

I can't say what the favourite part of my weekend is, because it's all pretty good when I'm hanging out with him, even if it's mundane.

It always, always starts with a cuppa in bed - I get up, switch the kettle on, snuggle and, well, you know - and then he makes the cuppa. Then we shower together (it saves water, plus it's nice) and then it's breakfast. If the chooks are laying, it's usually scrambled eggs. I make a good breakfast.

This weekend we've started building the inside of our camper (again). That's taken some thinking as nothing in a Land Rover is straight, and we need to make it feel spacious, whilst not making it too heavy. We love doing a project together.

He makes me laugh as we crack DIY jokes full of innuendo (like, can you just hold tight to this piece of wood for me?) and we listen to loud tunes in the arvo to buoy us up when we are getting frustrated and tired.

Twenty years of DIY jokes and tunes.

Twenty years of weekends together, bar a scant few.

Twenty years of him being the favourite part of my weekend.

This was in response to @galenkp's 'Weekend Engagement' question. I chose the prompt which asks us to talk about the favourite part of our weekend. I hope you are all having a good one.

With Love,
