My Friday In....

John ans I had discussed what we were going to do one Friday night. I really wanted to go out and do something. I did not want to just go eat somewhere I wanted to go out, have some good clean fun, stay out late, you know all those things you did as a teenager. John wanted to just stay home. He did not feel like doing anything and he was tired from a long day/week of work. He said all right but I knew he really did not want to. So I decided we would stay home and do it some other night. I would cook at home and we would spend an evening on the couch. This did not take a lot of convincing for him to except. To tell the truth I was very disappointed. I was thinking about it all day, it was Friday after all and we don't go places very often anyway. But I swallowed all the feelings and thought how appreciative John probably was  for me to cook him dinner and have a nice quiet evening with him. So I set to work. I did not know what we were going to eat, everything was frozen I did not prepare for anything so I finally found can tamales and decided to make a cheese sauce to go over it and we would have rice to go with it and a can of veggies (the best dinner all week in my opinion it was amazing) I started the sauce when John comes into the kitchen and hugs me from behind and kisses my cheek (I love it when he does this). He says he will be back he needs to run to town for a minute and asks does he have enough time. I was just starting so I figured yes no problem. He left and I got back to work. I finished supper and was setting the table when John got back. He came into the kitchen and since I was "hard at work" I was not paying attention to what he had. He stops me and on the counter was a 12 pack of A&W root beer (my favorite soda of all time). He turns toward the counter  to open the soda up and there in the back of his pants was a 3 rose bouquet. He turns back around smiles and pulls the roses out gives me a huge hug, kisses the top of my head and thanks me for cooking supper and staying in tonight. 

Sometimes we may give up our plans for the ones we love, but the out come can be better than the original plans. I had a wonderful night with John and I felt like we were dating again. We watched a movie and I sat in the middle of the couch holding his hand through the whole thing. Then we had dessert together after. This evening could not have been planned as perfect as it was. We didn't even have to walk out the front door.

These were taken 2 or 3 days later so flowers are kinda droopy and a lot of soda missing. Flowers were beautiful and very fragrant. 

John later asked me what I liked more the root beer or the flowers. I could not decide. John said that is why he loved me so much because root beer is just as good as flowers to me.
