This week, Dustin and I went on our first date together in 6 months. We cuddled up in a booth at Green Valley, ordered dessert and coffee first (his idea), and watched football. He even took me to see a movie afterward (which happens once a year). We held hands and alternated eating popcorn and candy. I'm so glad I'm married to a man who still takes me on dates.
Dustin and I discussed our classrooms each night over dinner. I've watched him play trumpet at gigs since he was 15, but when I walked into his band room this week, I realized I'd never seen him teach or conduct. His teaching situation is not easy, and I was so proud to see how his hard work is paying off. The students show him respect, and his pep band sounds great.
I am married to an amazing man. We've grown up together. He is a wonderful father to Miles, and his love for me showed the most when he helped keep our household and family going as I was crumbling and then let me do what I needed to be happy. I know the pressure on him is greater now than ever, but he doesn't let it show.
I can't believe this is where we are nearly 10 years into our marriage. I kind of feel like we've finally made it: strange!
Look who got carpet burn from crawling nose to the ground down the hallway...(still cute, though)
Sweet, sweet post.
