Surprise!

YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, I RECEIVED A TEXT FROM "THE MAN" TELLING ME THAT SITTERS WILL BE AT THE HOUSE AT 6, THAT WE WERE GOING ON A DATE!  I WAS BEYOND EXCITED.  IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG SINCE WE HAVE BEEN ON A REAL DATE.  I QUICKLY BAKED THE SITTERS FAVORITE COOKIES AND WASHED MY HAIR (IT WAS A NO WASH, PONY KIND OF DAY BEFORE THE BIG NEWS).  I PUT ON A NEW DRESS THAT HAD BEEN WAITING IN MY CLOSET FOR A DATE NIGHT AND PAINTED MY TOENAILS.  CAM CAME HOME AND SAID HE WOULD GET THE GIRLS PIZZA SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO COOK, AND HE TOOK OFF.

ON HIS MOTORCYCLE.  

I JUST STOOD THERE LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW, THINKING "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HE DOING?"  FAITH DETERMINED THAT HE WOULD PUT IN THE PIZZA INSIDE HIS SHIRT AND COME IN WITH PIZZA ON HIS BELLY...BUT GRACIE, THE EVER SO WISE ONE, SAYS "IF DADDY TOOK HIS BIKE, HE HAS A PLAN."  AND A GRAND PLAN HE HAD!  HE PULLED UP IN THE DRIVEWAY IN A...

WHITE CONVERTIBLE CORVETTE!!

WOOHOO!  HE TOOK ME OUT TO A FABULOUS STEAKHOUSE (SILVER FOX) AND ENDED THE DATE WITH STARBUCKS.  I LOVE THAT MAN.  I LOVE THAT GOD PUT US TOGETHER, AND I LOVE THAT I GET TO SPEND ALL MY NIGHTS RIGHT NEXT TO HIM, WHICHEVER CONTINENT WE MAY BE ON!
