Day 155: How did I get so lucky?

I'm still having trouble grasping how someone can treat me so nicely! After a bit of a trying week, much of which I spent moaning and groaning about to Mr. O, I get a text message that says we're going to dinner and to see the Christmas lights at an area garden, it's all been set, I just have to show up. Talk about being blown away! I had mentioned I wanted to check out the lights, but with our schedules, it didn't look like it was going to happen. But, because I needed a pick me up, he sacrificed a little sleep before an early morning work start to show me a good time and make me smile. And boy did he ever! The text message alone had me smiling all day! I don't know why I have trouble thinking that someone would want to improve my spirits and take the time to surprise me like that. It just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling every time I think of it. And, the evening couldn't have been more lovely. A cozy, VERY delicious dinner, complete with dessert, then a stroll through a winter wonderland, full of twinkle lights and Christmas trees and poinsettias. I can't help it, all that holiday sparkle makes me feel like a little kid inside and I was hard pressed to NOT smile. So thanks, Mr. O, for picking up my spirits and making me feel so special.
