He Loves Me

     So, he came to pick me up, was changed in a nice outfit, as always, and brought me gorgeous flowers. Not just any flowers, but the exact flowers I had in mind! I was dreaming of recieving a bouquet of daisies and roses...but never told anyone of my fantasy. These were even better! They included pink carnations that had the greatest aroma, the kind of fragrance you can't get enough of, no matter how much you sniff them. Even now, every time I look at them they make me smile. Who wouldn't? He took me out for a much needed date, there haven't been many of these since his travel has been so frequent since the baby was born. We went to dinner where we ate the perfect meal at one of my favorite places. Nothing out of the ordinary, no place new to speak of. Nevertheless, one of my favorite spots. Marie Calendars where everything I've ever had there, I've loved and is topped of with the best pie, a personal favorite dessert of mine. As we enjoyed great conversation and a wonderful meal, I realized how much I've missed these nights. Date Night. During that first year after we were sealed to one another, we promised each other that we would always date one another, we would always designate Friday as our special night. One of the best decisions we have ever made and that, throughout those most trying years of business travel, how those promised "date nights" have saved us and helped us remember the reasons we love each other so well and are so perfectly compatible. How thankful I am for these many memorable nights. How grateful I am that...He Loves Me.
