Yesterday was just a hard day. No particular reason. I wasn't feeling well, and was kind of grumpy, and the kids were just a little more crazy than usual (or so it seemed)... Anyway, when Dan got home from work, I immediately had to leave for about an hour to go visit teach.
Within that hour, Dan cleaned the kitchen, fed & bathed the boys, got them in their jammies with a fun movie for them to watch in their room on the portable dvd player before bed... oh, and he also made a super amazing dinner for just the 2 of us! It was so thoughtful! After dinner we watched a movie that he got from the red box.
Can I say that this is the best "sports themed" movie that I have ever seen? Because it was. I was also happy that it was a movie that Dan loved, which made me happy. I feel like when we do watch a movie together, he gets stuck watching chick flicks with me more often than not.
This was really one of the best date nights.
I loved it because,
1. It was at home, we NEVER have date nights at home. It was a nice change of pace.
2. It was cheap, and I enjoyed it just as much!
3. I didn't have to go through the hassle of getting a babysitter... just the mom guilt of adding an extra 2 hours to the ever running tally of how much screen time my boys get. And really, I didn't feel that guilty.
4. It was a fun surprise from Dan, and he made a big effort. It makes me want to make a big effort for him in return... and isn't that what being married is all about?

Sounds wonderful! Mark and I have been making more of an effort for date nights, and I really appreciate it!
So sweet. I am glad your rough day ended out really good, and relaxing! Dan, your awesome. And Carrie, you deserve it!
