Day 2984 – Blessing Your Spouse – or – Harry Potter Wand Pen

A few times during the day yesterday, Bret suggested we go out somewhere. Whether a picnic in a park, or just getting outside and doing something. It was delightful out, and he said I needed to “get out of my cave.” So we headed out, found our way to a KFC, watched the sunset while enjoying our meal, and then browsed in Barnes & Noble. While looking through the Harry Potter section, after ogling a set of 6 wands, we saw a bookmark and a small wand that was a pen set. Bret snatched it out of my hand and hurried to the front of the store. There was no question in his mind that this was a purchase that had to be made, and he didn’t want either of us questioning it. My husband bought me a wand that is a pen. I love being married to someone who still surprises me. Who still does small things and big things that show his love for me. He knows it’s an overpriced piece of plastic, but he also knows how much joy it will bring me, and how perfect a thing it is.

Excuse me while I go “expecto patronum” and “expelliarmus.”

Day 2035 – Surprise Date!!

Today, Bret called on his way home from school and said he was taking me on a date! When he got home, we discussed where to go and it was almost a no brainer to get sushi/Chinese! So we made the trek down to Chopstix and had a really fantastic time! I truly love getting to know Bret. Talking about all kinds of topics and learning more about each other. After our meal, we headed over to Barnes and Noble to get coffee and shop for books. Ahhhh, I wanted to buy them all! lol, I love reading and learning! To quench that need, we went to the library and I got some more books. Seriously guys, I have a problem. 🙂

Day 1814 – Bengies Drive In Date

Tonight, after Bret got home from work, he asked me out on a date! It was so last minute, but I’m so glad he did! Summer Bret has been awesome! This has been the first summer in the memory of our marriage where we’ve had a REAL summer. Most of the time, he’ll finish school and jump right into working a million hours.

Anyways, we saw Maleficent and the new Transformers. Both movies were really really awesome! We sat in the back of the truck to watch. What a blast! If you are in Maryland, you gotta check out Bengies in Middle River!

Day 695 – Nothing Like a Guiness on a Deck

Today I went to *name edit* for one of my day job co-workers. It was his last day, so a group of us went to happy hour to say goodbye. I had a lovely Guinness. Nothing like a Guinness on a deck.

Please note: I cannot put the name of the restaurant in because I am going to take Bret there for a date and it’s a surprise! : ) [the restaurant, not the date]
