Enjoy life with the wife you love all the days of your fleeting life. -- Ecclesiastes 9:9
Life is short. Delight in it while you can. And delight in the one you share it with.
Today's challenge was to not do something I would normally do in order to do something with Seth that he wants to do.
So I left all of my school work at school - didn't even bring my computer home! Seth got off early, so I left and met him home. We were going to go to the dog park, but there ended up being a tornado warning, so we decided to stay home. Eventually, the skies cleared as quickly as they had clouded over, and we went to out to dinner. We ate a late meal at Cool Basil, a Thai place in Clive. On the way home, Seth said, "Why don't we stop at Granite City, for old times sake?" We haven't been there in a while, really since I got pregnant, so I figured this was my opportunity to do something Seth wanted to do. So I responded, "Sounds good!" Which I'm pretty sure caught him off guard since that hasn't been my normal response in about seven months.
We hung out for a while and Seth had a beer. We sat close and talked about the basketball games on TV. On the way home he thanked me for being flexible and staying out.
I re-learned that we can have a great time just hanging out. And school can wait.
