I woke up to breakfast in bed. I was very surprised. He did a really good job on it too. Then we went out and swam in the pool for a couple of hours with the kids. He told me we needed to leave the house by 4 pm, so we got out about 3 and started getting ready. My mom and dad watched our kids for us and we went to dinner. He took me to a restaurant that you have to have reservations. It's a really nice restaurant in Hoover, AL but it stays packed all the time. So he made reservations for 4:30. When we got there, the lady walked us to the table and there were these flowers sitting on the table. There is a yellow rose for each year that we've been married. He got the florist to deliver them to the restaurant so I would be more surprised.
I started crying as soon as I seen them. This was the most romantic thing he has ever done for me. The food at this restaurant was awesome. No wonder why they stay packed and the service was great. Anyway we had a great dinner and really enjoyed ourselves.
Next we went to our church and left the flowers there and headed to Tuscaloosa, AL. There is a college down there that has a Theatre (plays) on there campus. So we went to see a play called The Music Man. It was really good.
He made me feel so special Saturday. He kept worrying that I wasn't gonna like everything, but I loved it. It couldn't have been more perfect. I'm telling all of you, my husband was not like this before Couples Retreat. He didn't take time to think out stuff like this. God changed him tremendously. He was very romantic when we dated, but after we got married it all stopped. But now it's back to the way we were when we dated (almost, add 2 kids). He writes me love notes and shows me more affection and romance. God really did something for our marriage and we are happier than ever.
Hope all of you are doing okay and that you all had a wonderful weekend as well. Till next time.

I'm glad that you all had a nice anniversary date. Your husband sounds like he treats you very well. It is nice to have such wonderful husbands.
So what's the restaurant's name!! We need a nice place to go too!!!
Congratulations! For Future reference. It's really nice when the kids are grown too! We don't have to worry about baby sitters.
The restaurant was Michael's Steak and Seafood. But it is really expensive. So be prepared. But the food was great!
So...they serve chicken?
I think so, but I ordered steak and shrimp and Will ordered Maui Maui. Both were yummy!
Praise God for Couple's Retreat, huh? Yippee!!! I'm so glad to hear it made such an impact on your husband, and I'm sure you, too. I've always felt like I had the best husband in the world, but about 20 years ago he came back from a Men's Retreat a new man. I don't know what they said or did there, but he came home much more attentive and loving and made me feel "cherished." We've never "laid out" of a Men's Retreat, Ladies' Retreat or Couple's Retreat--there's just too much good to be gained! But now, here we are missing our very own Family Camp and going to AL's instead. It feels strange. Of course, we've never gone to a TN Camp, either, so we don't feel as guilty as we would otherwise. BUT . . . ALL my family (just about) is at a Family Camp in New Mexico right now--without ME! *Bwaaaahhhh!!!* I need AL Family Camp to hurry up and start to distract me from thinking about it so much.
What a wonderful Anniversary celebration that you both enjoyed. So happy for you! Gorgeous flowers too!
That made me cry. Maybe one day I'll have a husband half as great as Willard.
okay Kristal. Everyone wants the update on your mom.
Okay, we're all really, really glad that you have such a terrific husband and that your anniversary was so wonderful. But come on, lady--it's been a month! Hasn't ANYTHING happened since then??? ;-)
