I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 40 years. We are blessed to be the parents of four married sons and twelve amazing grandkids. I've co-authored nine Heartsong Presents titles and three novellas. I just finished the Lost Sanctuary series--a 3-book full-length series for Barbour Publishing. Tomorrow's Sun, the first book, released in January. It is a contemporary story with a historical thread dating back to the 1850s and the Underground Railroad.
When I'm not writing (which my hubby thinks is seldom) I love playing with grandkids,hopping on the back of our Gold Wing (assuming hubby's on the front!), or seeing the country in our RV. I'm in a wonderful Bible study, currently studying (and attempting to memorize!) the book of James.
That story is awesome, Becky! Did your hubby ever do that for you, or something similar? Or is this the story of one of your sons and DILs? It just seems so real.
I fully concur. If you're lucky enough to pick 'the' special one, then the game and the hunt only gets better and better. Think how ingenious you have to get to fit 'us' time in with teenagers staying up to the wee hours. What fun it is!!
Thanks, Eileen. When my sweet man read this he said, "I should have done that for you!" So, no, it didn't come from my own experience or anyone else's. But Bill shows affection and attention in so many other ways. My advice to the newly married (and parents of teens!): Don't give up in the rough places. Some day, Lord willing, you'll get to where we are now...36 years of history together and an empty house! I used to dread this stage, but I'm totally embracing our alone time now that we're in it. It truly can just keep getting better and better if you're willing to work, pray, laugh, and hang in there! Becky

Becky, I can't find it on the mag. Can you post a direct link to your story page?
