A Clip to Remember

After a very hectic and stressful week, Jesus and I thought it was time for a date night. The marriage classes we have taken in the past have always suggested that we make it a point to have date night at least once a week. Well if your life style is somewhat like ours, we are too busy, too tired, or too broke, to do anything once a week. But this week called for a special date night, so we went to the movies at the domain. The movie of choice was Hangover II. Now your probably thinking, the movies? Well there's a few reasons behind that choice.
Jesus and I never go to the movies...maybe once or twice a year. We are a redbox, sit in our pj's on the sofa kinda couple. But my mom got us tickets for my birthday to gold class cinemas. Thank you mom! If you don't know about gold class cinemas at the domain, well your missing out! Its a real treat! Each couple is privately seated with reclining chairs and your own mini table. Your able to order wine, food, etc. and they give you a blanket if your cold! As always Jesus made the most of our date and was a complete gentleman. He surprised me with hand picked flowers from our garden and made a beautiful bouquet, then rang the door bell to "pick" me up for our date which I thought was adorable! After the movie we had a picnic at the water fountain display. The night was beautiful and the jazz music filled the area with calm and peace. Jesus wanted to capture the moment in a picture and so he did. I on the other hand wanted a picture of the water spouts, Jesus almost convinced me to run through them but I was in a dress! Anyhow, we enjoyed the night and eachothers company. The evening ended with a beautiful poem Jesus wrote and recited under our gazebo at home under the stars. Yes, this night was perfect. We don't have many of those, but I was grateful to God for giving us that moment to cherish. I went to bed thanking God and praying for all the military wives who don't get to see their husbands for months/years at a time. May God bless them and bring them home safely. Until next date night we will cherish the small moments we have during our next busy days ahead!
