So, let me tell you...I had a perfect night. Matt and I decided to go out on a "real" date. I told him to plan it. So, he picked me up and we drove to Chattanooga. We were going to eat at a restaurant on the river, but we couldn't find it, so we went to a place called 212 Market (I think thats the name). I ate the filet mignon (I don't usually order somthing that expensive, but I splurged) and let me tell you, it was fabulous. Every bite I had made me smile. It was served with garlic whipped potatoes and fire grilled vegetables (mushrooms, summer squash, zucchani, etc.) It was awesome. Then we went and walked down these stairs that had water flowing over them. It is kinda like a mini concrete water park. There were kids playing on them. Then we walked barefoot through the grass down by the river until we found a perfect spot to lay in the grass and look at the starts. We talked about the stars and the ability to fly amongst other things. We finaly decided we had to head back because we have church in the morning. We rode the whole way there and back without music so we could talk and we had amazing conversations. It was a great night, and so needed. It is so important to take time to spend with your significnt other...time away from the hustle and the bustle of everyday life where you can talk and just enjoy each other's company. It's important for girls (at least for me) to feel like your significant other wants to spend time with you, so much so that he will take a night to take you out and plan things he knows you will enjoy. I just wanted to share that with each of you and to encourage all of you guys to go out of your way to make the woman in your life feel special.
On another note, I know today is the one year anniversary of Bruce's death. I did not know Bruce very well, but I know he was an amazing guy. I know today has been hard for many of you and I just want you to know that I prayed for you (not by name, but for those who were close to Bruce)
Love you all
B
