The date we never had

May 3rd

 7 years ago yesterday

Richard and I had our first date.

Finally after a year of wishing and hoping he would ask me on a date, it finally happened.

Realizing that he was everything I thought he was and more

Plus the best friend I had always been looking for

is a moment in my life I will never forget.

On the way home from our date that night,

 Richard mentioned that he wanted to go on another date with me.

So outrageously excited, I stammered back that my Dad's birthday was the next day (May 4th) and I would be busy doing family stuff. So we planned a date for that weekend. 

But from the 5th (we actually hung out before our planned date for the 6th...we couldn't stay apart even then) until we got married 6 months later, 

we spent every day together either hanging out or on dates.

So May 4th was the only day that we didn't go on a date or spend time together.

Today, May 4th

7 years later

on our way to Winco, Richard mentioned that he had a special surprise.

He had a date all planned with a babysitter ready to watch our kids as soon as we got home (!!!!!!)

He wanted to take me on the date we never had.

HOW ROMANTIC IS THAT?!?!?!

I haven't stopped swooning over my boy all night.

hey no judging. I am growing out my hair so it's all natural. Yes horrible roots I know...

We were both laughing really hard at an inside joke which is why we are smiling weird
He's my best friend.

7 years later and I still have it bad for this boy.

But can you blame me?
