Last thursday I did one of my most favorite things to do, surprise my husband. He is really hard to surprise because he LOVES to try and figure them out. (yes, he shakes his presents at Christmas) He was feeling pretty overwhelmed trying to keep up with all his stuff plus taking care of all of my stuff as I recovered. And I wanted to thank him for being such an amazing & supportive husband.
So I sneakily planned a surprise date night for us. Our best friend "Aunt Ashley" agreed to come and stay with the girls. On thursday morning I took the girls to a friend's house to play. I went and bought myself & Jeremy new outfits ( a huge splurge for me!!) Then I laid out his outfit with the movie listings for that night. The girls and I hid in our bedroom and when he came home yelled, "Surprise!"
We went to eat at a fancier place downtown. Then we went to a movie. Hannibal just got a brand new fancy digital theater. We went to see Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D. Neither of us had ever seen a 3 D movie. We then headed to our favorite "coffee" shop for white hot chocolate. It was a great night!!! It had been quite awhile since we had a date night.
I am so thankful the Lord gave me this idea. I had no idea we would be gearing up for another exhausting weekend with Faith getting sick, but the Lord did. He gave us just what we needed time to reconnect and recharge.

Jen, my name is Kathy and I just read your comment on Jill's blog about hearing Marybeth Whalen at a recent conference. I'm her publicist and would love to touch base with you about seeing if you'd like to review her book "Learning to Live Financially Free" if I send you a copy. She co-wrote it with her husband, Curt. If interested, e-mail me at: WillisWay (at) aol (dot) com. Thanks!
That sounds like so much fun! I'm glad you two had a great evening out and enjoyed yourselves, just what you needed!
I really enjoyed talking to you the other day and know that I am praying for you. You encouraged me as well.
What a great date night! It sounds like a lot of fun.
Thanks for your comment, I am so glad you were at the AWI conference!
Easter blessings to you and your family,
Melissa
