Surprise! My hubby is awesome!

JM surprised me last night.  He requested a date night early in the week, but his attempt to get a babysitter did not work out.  (Sweet Ms. Jan from his office, who the kids absolutely LOVE to have as a sitter, was having surgery on Friday.)   I followed up with my teenage babysitter.  DONE...I am saying that fewer and fewer times because Katelyn, another kid favorite babysitter, is growing up!  She is a SENIOR this year.  She is going to AU next year, so maybe we will be able to still call her a few times a year!

Anyway, I just assumed that we would have our "regular" date night -dinner that is not so fancy and but cost effective and a movie with plenty of time to talk!  WRONG!!!  JM had scheduled a couples massage and dinner at the Renaissance Hotel downtown.  I was shocked.  We have never done anything like that before.  Needless to say, a massage for JM is WAY OUT OF CHARACTER!  THIS WAS HIS FIRST!   I was in massage heaven!  There is nothing more relaxing to me than lying on that table!  I think JM was tense the whole time worried when the therapist was going to touch his feet, but he did have a good time.  After the massage, we went downstairs to their fancy restaurant for dinner.  It was an amazing meal- very Top Chef style- but we did not leave hungry!  Quite the opposite - stuffed!  It was a wonderful night, and he made me feel very special!  

To top everything last night, he is even off work today and cleaning up his "stacks" around the house.  He tries to do this for my sanity at least once a year.  He accumulates more stacks of junk!  I think he is up to something!  BUT I will take all the sweetness at face value!
