Light night 2014

December 11 is a special day for Phil and I.  It commemorates our first date together.  As poor college kids we didn't have the funds to go out.  So dinner was served through our meal plan at the cafeteria.  Then since Phil hadn't planned anything other than hanging out watching tv, I made him drive me around to look at Christmas lights.  We've gone every year since then, braving sleep deprivation as brand new parents one year and a blizzard on another.

This year Phil surprised me with flowers.  He had the boys go down to the basement to help him With something.  A few minutes later he called us gals down.  When we got to the bottom each gent was holding a different colored carnation.  With earnest eyes Wesley looked at us and asked if we would go and look at the Christmas lights with them.  It was the most endearing thing ever.  The girls were oohing and ahhing over their flowers the boys were cheering that we said yes, and Phil came and kissed me.  It was one of those moments that you wished could have been captured on camera.

Thirteen years of dating such a wonderful man with hopefully many more to come!
