Date Night

So finally tonight is date night! The last two weeks have gone by super fast, and we have been going a mile a minute. Chris worked extra shifts every night last week except one and I have been staying busy at work, getting ready for our work conference and staying late to help out. While Chris has been off fighting "panty capers", I have been staying busy decorating our guest bathroom. Let me explain what I mean by "panty capers"- uh-hum- there was a burglar in our town that was known for stealing women's underwear...and it was a man. Yikes! They set up a "sting" to catch him, and did! Geez... I have been focusing much attention on our guest bathroom. For example, I finally got a shower curtain (I figure after 5 months, it's time) and my creativity has been steamrolling. I went to Kohl's and got some things on sale to go with my theme, and am putting pictures from all of our travels on the walls. I found a great lady online that custom makes wall stickers. She is putting together a scripture verse for me to put on the wall, I just need to get her the measurements.
With our schedules being opposites, I have been leaving notes for Chris and he has been e-mailing me while I sleep. He really likes the way our bathroom is coming along, so he handpicked pictures that he likes, formatted them and put them in a folder on our laptop for me. (This is one of the things he e-mailed me.) I have also been adding decor to our dining room (if I could just keep Sam from jumping on the table, that'd be great!). I also made a DIY wreath for the front door that I'm pretty excited about. Our place has been slowly but surely becoming more homey and I love it. We live on a golf course, and I love taking Molly out, watching people play golf while the sun sets. It really motivates me to do spring cleaning!
With putting together frame collages, I have been going through old pictures from over the years and I'm just so blown away by God's love and what He has done for Chris and me. We have made so many memories and have grown so much and it just continues to get better and better. God has carried us through every single phase and has blessed us and taken care of us in every situation. He is amazing!
Many of you know that Chris and I have been trying to get pregnant for nearly three years now, and while I am tempted to be sad and depressed, God lifts us up and blesses us and reminds us there is a reason for the waiting. I am so excited for what is to come, but I will continue to praise Him and be obedient. He is giving us grace for the waiting period and it is beautiful.

(sigh) So as we go on this date tonight and we peacefully walk through Southlake Town Square together, (on a gorgeous night,I might add) we will be refreshed and blessed and be rejoicing for the future. : ) (and maybe be stopping into the Reese's Pieces shop for some chocolate...hmmmm...yeah, definitely...)
