WARNING: Sappy Post Ahead

Saturday was the best day I've had in a year. It was the sort of day that would make Longfellow and Thumper get all twitterpated. Granted, there were moments that were better, like the moment baby Leah emerged to say hello for the first time, but as whole days go, this was the best.

Hubby and I have made it a point in our 11+ year relationship to religiously go on dates at least once a week to do something fun. Since I got sick, and basically became a shut-in, it's been a lot harder to go on weekly dates. Sadly dates have more become less than monthly.

Saturday was great, not only because we got to go on a date, but because we went to a massively beautiful flower garden at a local university. And oh my, the weather was perfect, about 74F and sunny with a slight breeze. There were brides and little girls in puffy, yellow sundresses all over the place. The smells were divine, and I wanted to stay in that day forever.

Hubby took me to a really good Greek place afterward where he ate a pita sandwich and some baklava he wanted to marry, and I had some stuffed grape leaves that did not make me sick. It was a banner day. Hubby's been walking three inches in the air ever since. Boy have we missed date day!
