The perfect date day....

It's been quite the adjustment for me entering into my summer break. Although I was quite excited about having the entire summer off, deep down I knew it would possibly put a strain on my relationship with Kevin. He works these really long shifts and quality time is sometimes really hard to achieve. I am quite impressed with how we have both handled the situation thus far. We are making the most of our time that we have together.

Well, today marked the first time that Kevin was off during my official summer break. We were both excited that we would have the entire day to spend together. The morning started off with me going for my morning walk. After my walk I rushed home to shower before I headed to my 7:00 am hair appointment. I was really happy that I was getting my hair done considering it had been quite some time since my last relaxer. What a difference some chemicals can make!!!

Kevin and I decided that today we would make the most of our day and do so by looking at wedding dresses. Now...I have to place a pause here to reiterate once again that I am not the typical bride! I have never walked into a bridal shop nor have I had the desire to do so. I was pleasantly surprised with the shop and the assistants. Everyone was really friendly, helpful, and patient with me as I once again ventured over into the "foreign land". I believe the funniest part of the day came when the young attendant set up my dressing room with two dresses. She was about to leave me to get dressed when I looked at her and simply asked, "what am I supposed to do?". She looked back at me and asked if I needed help...of course I said yes! It was at that moment that I stripped down and allowed this complete stranger to dress me. Did I mention that she was probably 5'1 and I'm about 5'9! That alone was hilarious trying to squat low enough for her to guide the dress over my head. I only tried on two dresses. I like them both but I didn't have the "aha!" moment.

Kevin and I had a nice lunch afterwards at a neat little restaurant. That was cool. We found this pet store and instantly fell in love with it. I was able to find a dress for Bentley...it is so cute! It will be perfect for the bridal photos. We walked around a little more before we headed to Sonic for a slush.

Our spectacular date day ended with us going to the movies and watching "Sex and the City". The movie was awesome!!! It is a must see for all fans of the show. After the movie we took a drive down to the waterfront where we sat on our favorite bench and talked. I really enjoyed myself. Kevin is a wonderful guy. I can't help but thank God for him. It's so easy being me with him.

I am looking forward to his next day off on Sunday!
