Wanna Test Your Marriage?

Wanna Test Your Marriage??

Go tent camping when there is a 99.9 % chance of torrential rain in the forecast.

This camping trip started out so perfect. Nothing like a long weekend away, right?

There was a light sprinkle when we arrived but our site was better than we had hopped. Wooded and secluded, nice and cozy. We started making plans. Tent here. Canopy there. Kitchen on that side. It was going to be great.

And then...the bottom fell out.

Rain, rain and more rain.

It went on for hours.

If you are familiar with the wise man song then you know what happened next.....

The rains came down and the floods came up!

Our campsite was just filling with water {as was our tent}. We tried to come up with solutions for an endless list of problems that we were facing. First we were sweet about it. Talking calmly and being patient. Then all of a sudden we were both on each others last nerve. There was yelling and swearing. It was all VERY counter productive. We finally decided to change sites {after checking all the nearby options for lodging and coming up empty}. At one point while we were moving it was raining so hard and we were so cold {temperature had dropped from 85 to 62} that we started laughing and hugging each other. It was the "we have totally lost it" kind of laughing. The kind where you really should be crying. We did this for about 5 minutes. After that things started looking up. The rain stopped and our tent was no longer filled with water! We made super yummy foil packs over the fire and brownies in the camp oven!

We are now certain that our marriage can take anything!
