so... how did it go?

yesterday, started out pretty good as I got to sleep until 9:30 - daniels gift to me, he took the baby into school so I could get a few extra hours... then I cleaned up the living room and bedroom, set out some candles and put some nice cd's in the stereo (dave matthews, beck, and ella fitzgerald, in case you were wondering), and got everything ready for a nice night in...

daniel called he said that after the babys dr's appt (for 6 month shots) at 1:30, we would just drop the baby back off at daycare and go home early - so didnt get everything done that I wanted to, but he was still impressed when he got home and found everything nicely arranged... so we spent some *quality time* (wink, wink) together, and then he took me out to eat at Abners (no he isnt cheap - I love abners, and he is going to take me somewhere nicer on saturday when we go to tuscaloosa), and then we came back home (my mom had the baby), and we watched The Notebook - perfect movie for an anniversary... its so formulaic the way things are layed out for you, and you think its going to end all cheesy, but it has a really sweet ending, so if you havent seen it and need a good date movie, I would recommend it...

then we went and got the baby, he was tired but in a good mood, so we took him home, gave him a bath and a bottle and I went to bed... daniel and gabe followed soon after

so didnt get everything done yesterday that I wanted, but it still turned out to be a really good day and anniversary

mushy story ahead - quit reading now if you dont like this kind of stuff

so, daniel and I were talking last night about being married 3 years and how it felt longer and it was wonderful... blah, blah, blah (Ill spare you all the mushy details)... and he started talking about how things were for him 7 years ago (we started dating 6 years ago in may) - he was a loser (his words, not mine), and depressed... the girl he had been dating had just gone off to college and dumped him... so his main objective in life was to just find a girl to get laid - he thought if he ended his virginity then that would be the pick-me-up he needed to not be so depressed anymore...

at the time, he used to go sit out on the carport and just look up at the stars, do some thinking and occasionally talk to God (he had pretty much given up on church and all religion at the time)... he looked up one night, and asked God, "where is she?", and God answered back, "just hold on, she's out there, Im getting her ready"... from then on, Daniel dropped his whole idea of "just getting laid" and stopped worrying about it

we started dating a couple of months later
