Tonight, we're staying in, being lazy. Husband made me a really nice dinner and now...I'm watching him play a video game until it's my turn. Lol. Honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way tonight. Sure, I love the romantic stuff, wining, dining, going out...but tonight...I want this.
I remember Saturday nights used to be different for us, for me. When I was single, usually a Saturday night meant hanging out with my best girls and not going out until 11pm or later.
When we first started dating, my husband and I did all those typical "date night" things. We still do them, though less frequently.
I remember our first "date"... He and I have different ideas of when our first date actually was, because they way we got together wasn't very typical. But I remember both times...they were pretty special.
They were the kind of dates when you feel like a giddy teenager AND an adult in the span of a few hours.
You know...when you get those butterflies when your hands accidentally (or purposefully) brush against each other? You feel like a teenager.
Or...
The endless conversation when you find yourself realizing all the wonderful quirks and interesting things about your date? Adult.
Anticipating a kiss that would leave you breathless? Teenager.
The title of my post is after a scene (probably my second favorite scene) in the movie Beautiful Girls.
Pretty much sums up that lasting love is where it's at. Gone are our days of those 'first' everything...but what we got now is pretty damn good too.
Here's the scene... I LOVE the dialogue in this.
