2004-02-07 - 6.43pm previous entry next entry Ooh ooh ooooh guess what?! I'm going on a date!!! Woohoo, exciting!! Me and Neil (yes I know it's grammatically correct to say "Neil and I" but that's so much more cold and formal, so I won't!) are going on a date!! Well until this afternoon I thought we were just going to the cinema because if we don't go this weekend, Love Actually is probably going to finish and we will have missed seeing it on the big screen. But Neil went out shopping this morning, and when he came home he said he had spent his birthday and Christmas money on some clothes for our date tonight!!! Ahhhh isn't he sweet?! So right away I realised we are actually going on a date and it needs to be special, not just me on the computer up until the last minute, then raking a comb through my hair and throwing on the nearest sweater with my jeans, and heading out the door with Neil, talking about if we need to pick up some milk on the way home. Neil said he is going to take "the full hour" to get ready, like he used to :) So I have had a bath and washed my hair, and now Neil is in there, and I am wondering what on EARTH to wear!! I haven't had this problem in ages! I have clothes, therefore I always have something to wear. But I want to wear something a bit more special. Something Neil doesn't always see me in. And I don't have much like that. I also want it to be girly and feminine. I bought a really lovely girly top from eBay this week, but it hasn't arrived yet. I like to look feminine, I just realised how much lately. I feel sooooo much nicer-looking when I am wearing something pretty and girly. I am pretty happy with the way I look in general, but I like how much of a buzz I get when I feel like I look good in something. It's so nice to feel that way :) Neil bought a really nice casual shirt and a jacket in town. He looks gorgeous in them. I looked at him this afternoon and I SWEAR he looked different than I've ever seen him before. Maybe it was because I had my neck turned at a funny angle to see him from where I was sitting, or maybe it was the light which was too bright in my face from the window. But I was staring and staring while he was telling me about... uhhh I can't actually remember! I think it was about something or other in town. But anyway, he had sort of.... light in his face, I mean, coming from his face. His teeth looked straighter and such a nice shape, and I know his teeth haven't changed a bit since I met him! They are fine - he wore braces for ages in his teens but didn't do the follow up very well so his teeth are still a little bit out of line, just a bit. But when I looked at him it was like that was all gone. So weird. Maybe it was the light. He looked heavenly. Maybe I am really seriously in love, and I never have been before, and this is what it's like? It's not a rose-tinted thing though, because he still gets right on my nerves several times a day! I am reading that book, "The Power of A Praying Wife" though, and praying through each chapter. I am loving it actually. I love praying for Neil. It's exciting, somehow. To be praying for such big things in his life and knowing how much joy the answers to prayer will bring, for both of us. So far I have prayed through his work and finances, which are really key things for Neil at the moment. I'm so glad those chapters come early on in the book! Anyway, praying for your husband is just about the best way to realise there is an ever deeper level of love you can feel for him. The lady who wrote the book said that, but I kind of took it with a pinch of salt until I felt like I do now. Wow. God is so amazing. Still doing my huffing and puffing up and down the stairs as a form of exercise! Heh. Actually I haven't done it today - tsk. Mustn't stop now I've started. I went to the library. I love going to the library and reading local history books. It's so fascinating. It boggles my brain to know that when I sit in my car in a huge queue for the carpark in town, I am sitting right on the spot where there used to be hundreds of slum cottages 4 or 5 centuries ago. I can't fathom it, and yet I see the drawings and maps in the books. I love to know the history of my surroundings. There is a likely theory that Julius Caesar travelled through my town with his Roman army. Can you believe that?! And I know there were 4 kings of England crowned here before 1000AD. Craaaazy-huge history. So I love local history books. Even last century is fascinating to me. Neil is out of the bathroom so I am going to put dinner on. We are going to a late showing so we need to eat first. I haven't been on a date in.... a very long time! :) Oooh nearly forgot, thanks so much for the guestbook messages!! *hugs* |
