Here is a picture of my lovely Margie and me from this past Thursday. She took me on a special date to a concert about an hour and a half away. It was a gentleman we both discovered and began listening to together. More on the concert next post. This post I would like to talk about the date itself and how much it meant and what it can teach us about relationships. It is my sincere wish that you not only enjoy this cute romantic tale, but use it to add a spark to your own relationship.
What makes our story so exciting is the fact that Margie and I are one of, if not the, busiest couples. I work 53 hours a week at my day job, write a blog a day for the last 700+ days, working on book four as well. Margie is a fabulous and talented cake designer who has more work than she has time for. She is also the cutest cake designer, but I might be a little biased on that point. Add to this we also DJ together on Sunday night and all too often, we barely have time for us. This makes the fact that she planned a fun evening of a concert, dinner and love that much more valuable.
In doing this date, there were several things that made it so heartwarming to me. First, was the fact she learned about it, knew I would enjoy the show and took action to get the tickets. Second, that she took time out of her crazy cake making schedule to go with me there. Lastly, that it was someone we had discovered together. Yes, the concert was amazing. Again, there will be a whole post about that tomorrow. What really made this special was all the fun things that went into creating this great memory.
When you are looking to create a special memory for you and someone else, you do not need to spend a great deal of money. What makes moments special is both the thought that goes into it, as well as the connection that is forms between the two of you. You could go to a really fancy dinner, but it would be more meaningful to go back to the place you went on your first date. On the way there listening to the song you first danced to. Maybe even wear the same fragrance you did on your first date. It is these seemingly little things that really are not so little. I know that I will be loving my lady for all she did on this date over and over again for a very long time. When I reflect on it in the future, I may not remember all the songs that were played, but I will remember all the love I experienced with her.
