A dear friend was more than willing to step in and watch all three of our little ones so we could have a date. These days dates are few and far between, but this had been in the planning. My heart had been looking forward to just some “grown-up” time.

We went to our favorite vegan sushi place- Shojinand shared a delightful raspberry heart treat.We held hands, leisurely strolled, window shopped, and even stopped for a mid-afternoon caffeine treat.We drove around until we decided the last stop should be a bookstore where we wander the aisles self absorbed and stop to point out books one of us finds for the other.

I promise I don’t get tired of this guy’s company. He’s a keeper. I am one lucky girl.
