Okay so let me recap it all: Derrick got loan money for this semester and we've finally indulged ourselves and bought some cool stuff-new PC, new monitor, Bose headphones, knick knacks, school books, recreational books, a new vacuum (yahoo!), a bike and bike lock, new XBox 360 slim, video games, HP #1 audio book, blah blah blah. He got a lot and since we do alright with my paycheck, it was a bunch of "play" money so we could catch up on things we wanted-FINALLY. With that being said, Der said he wanted to do a grand date with surprises for me since he doesn't get to do that often. So we'd been talking about it and planning for it for almost a month-and naturally I got SO excited! But with the car wreck we thought things would have to be postponed and that made me very sad. It's the little things in life to me-I wasn't upset about my car being totaled, I was upset about our date and getting my hair done, lol. (I know-priorities, right?!) So, we got a rental car yesterday and decided to still go on with the date-YAY!!
Alright, so I went and got my hair done...and did I get it done!
Ignore the bad photo-it was from my crappy phone & has been slept on since yesterday BUT-it's much shorter and now a chestnut color! I've never had my hair colored anything but shades of blond and a few red streaks, and even then it was like 5 years ago, but I'm DIGGIN' the new style and color. Once I can get some better pics I'll post them here =]
It was a great surprise for both Derrick and me-he likes it! He's now calling me his "dark haired lady" or "black beauty" instead of his "blond bombshell". He's so cute.
Okay so when I came home I started getting ready while he was running date errands and I was so excited!
When he came home he had these:
a dozen of lovely red roses.
I love getting flowers from anyone, especially from my husband! It was so nice. I thought there was a card in the middle of them but when I pulled it out it was a Starbucks card for $25! Ah, he supports my coffee habit-good man. (I used it this morning for the seasonal Pumpkin Spice latte and a blueberry muffin-delicious.)
So we continued to get ready and once it was time we got in the rental and headed out! I had no idea what we were doing or where we were going but I was excited-new doo, cute dress, heels (though a little tight), and some matching jewelry. I like having a reason to get dolled up sometimes, ya know? So he took me to the mall-I was wondering if he was going to take me to Olive Garden? TGIFridays? Hmm...well we got out and I remembered he said 1 of my surprises was "something I could wear"-which doesn't help too much because one can wear almost anything. Lingerie? Shoes? Earrings? Perfume? I was so curious. We got out holding hands (me blushing a bit because I like being on his arm) and he took me to Charlotte Russe-to get new shoes!!! *Insert melting here* I'm not even a huge shoe guru but come on-they were cute, fairly inexpensive, and SO SWEET of a gesture!
I got 2 pairs
a pair of short tan boots and a pair of dark gray heels with button details (both SO cute and comfy!)
*le sigh* It was wonderful. So then we went to Carrabba's for dinner-a great place for yummy food and a sweet, romantic atmosphere. We had great appetizers, wonderful dinner, and delicious tiramesu for dessert.
All and all a WONDERFUL date. A wonderful husband. A wonderful time. <3
Damn him... Setting the bar up there.
