Day 66 continued

Tonight, my husband and I will be going on a date together! This is the first in a while, and most likely the last for a much longer while, since we have a new baby coming. Mom is wonderful to take all three kids overnight!!!!! But, I don't think she'll be ready to take on four for a long, long time. Actually, I very much doubt I will be willing to let Jade out of my sight for at least a year, since that's how it was with Julia. I have attachment issues, apparently. I suppose that's better than the alternative!

So, the problem is, we never know exactly where to go on our dates. We kind of have this rut we get into: movie, dinner at a restaurant, Barnes and Nobles for coffee and reading. It's very nice, but a bit boring and predictable. I can't help but feel like there must be something more interesting and exciting to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Still, even a somewhat predictable and boring date is so, so, amazingly, fantastically, tremendously wonderful to have that I am all a twitter with anticipation! I always feel like a college kid again when we go out just the two of us. It's like, no responsibilities, no pressure, no having to mother anyone or take care of anything. Just us, together, having a good, peaceful time. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. So nice. It always serves to remind me of just how blessed I am to have this perfect man as my husband, to be allowed to spend time with him, looking at me like that, smiling, talking, touching hands. Oh, I can't wait!!!!!!!

So, don't expect any blogging from me later today! I will be out, unavailable, busy, otherwise occupied, and absent. And if you happen to run into me somewhere, just ignore the goofy grins and coy glances at each other. I know it's sickening. Just pretend we're some silly google-eyed teenagers who don't know any better. That's what we'll be doing!
