Happy Evening.....

Dan calls me everynight on his way home from

work just to let me know he's coming.

Everynight I look forward to this call.

Tonight Dan called not only to say he was heading home,

and wanted to take us out to dinner.

No cooking, no dishes, and the company of my favorite people.....

a very nice night.

After a delicious meal with surprisingly well behaved children, (only one drink spilled the entire evening is a victory in my book) we drove home with a beautiful pink sunset in front of us, and silly laughter behind us. Add to this the fact I'm jotting this down around nine 'o clock and all my little people are freshly bathed and already asleep. Dan and I now have a few minutes to relax. (Technically Dan is already relaxing as he watches a show on the History Chanel about loggers, hence why I am relaxing a little with my computer.) I'm planning to finish the night with a hot bath and my comfortable bed. And as I drift off to sleep, I think I might have a few sweet dreams about

the next time Dan surprises us with a night on the town.
