Last night hubby and I went out on a date. Finally. With 4 kiddos at home and everyone going in separate directions all the time, it's hard to find a spot on the schedule for "us". We went out for some sushi, and then went to see a funny movie. It was so nice. While we were sitting in the movie theater, waiting for the commercials to start (which stinks, by the way, what the heck??!!)...he looked at me and said "You are such a pretty girl."
Don't get me wrong...he is always very generous with the positives when it comes to me. He never fails to tell me I look beautiful (even just before or *gasp* immediately after giving birth to a kid), but something about the way he said that was just so sweet and kind. I don't feel very "girly" lately I guess, kids and work tend to run me down...but hearing him say it like that made me feel 10 years younger, 10 pounds lighter, and reminded me of just how great a husband he is.
"Date night"...I highly recommend it.

The Boy and I are trying to plan a date night and we don't even have children. What we do have is very busy families who keep scheduling our weekends - We've pretty much been booked since Memorial Day weekend *sigh* Hopefully soon we'll have a date night - sounds like yours was well-needed and wonderful
