Romantic Air

You've all heard the saying, "Romance is in the air," and this past weekend for my husband and I it was abundantly so. For Valentine's day this year we had a romantic date set for the weekend, that we had been planning for months. You can imagine that when we had to cancel everything do to another round of SICK we were both extremely disappointed! Over the course of January and February it was starting to feel as if Life would just not let us catch a break! We had family member's with major surgeries in the hospital, extremely long hours at work, sick upon sick upon sick, and then the usual unwanted mishaps that always seem to rear their ugly heads when your at your wits end! During all of this we were watching the devastation of the Haiti Earthquake unfold before our eyes. I was looking through pictures of the disaster and saw a man crying out in anguish while carrying his child away from a pile of ruble. I was shaken to my very core, and felt an overwhelming amount guilt for thinking MY bad days of late actually meant something! I was reminded that no matter how bad things may seem, we ALWAYS have SO MUCH to be grateful for. So for the next couple weeks I sang "What faith can do," by Kutless, in my head as a reminder for me, and after time LIFE went back to normal for us.

After a couple attempts we were finally able to get our date rescheduled, and it was so worth our wait. Our first stop on Saturday morning was to drop our little peanut off with the Grandparents. Next we stopped at Crackerbarrel for breakfast and then headed to Rejuvenations Day Spa for an aromatherapy couples massage. Can I just say AHHHH. After that we got dressed up and headed to our favorite downtown spot, Armory Square. I love this part of downtown for it's fresh vibe, it's coffee spots, chocolate shop, restaurants, photogenic details, designer clothing shops where I "browse" not buy, and everything thing else that makes it a great place be when the sun is shining. Love it, love it! We walked around for little bit until I couldn't take the cold anymore, and then stopped for latte's at my favorite place, Starbucks! After a warm up it was off to Pascale's for dinner, where the food was so delicious that we can't wait to go back! We ended our night with dancing by candle light as Frank Sinatra's Moon River, one of my most favorite songs of all time, echoed through our empty house. It was an amazing, refreshing, wonderful day, and I LOVE MY HUSBAND!
