SURPRISE!

So my husband pulled a surprise on me this week. We didn't have the best weekend, I don't even remember what all the tension was about. Probably something silly and petty. Anyways, he asked me on a date in the middle of the week...Tuesday night to be exact. Nice surprise! (Side note: he does have Wednesday off so I think there was a second motive there)

He turns it into this mysterious date that he's not telling me what we're going to do. I asked what I needed to bring and the response was nothing. He did however prepare two bottles of hot chocolate for the road. Hm. There truly aren't that many things to do in West Memphis and as we're driving I notice we aren't headed toward the bridge. So my mind is scrambling trying to figure out why he packed hot chocolate, I'm only wearing a sweat shirt, and we're staying in town.

Only minutes later we reach our destination. A park. Not just any park though. A beautifully decorated park. The trees have Christmas lights all over them. The water tower and gate was lite up too. Oh it was beautiful. They had Christmas music playing softly to add another touch.

Not only that but when we drove around the corner it was crowded. When I say crowded, I mean like Martin, Tennessee crowded. A side street covered with people is uncommon. 10 - 20 cars within a block and it's not rush hour, is uncommon. Guess what we found. The West Memphis Christmas Parade! Oh it made me so happy. He didn't even plan that part. :) So we watched the second half of the parade, nothing special and no candy might I add. And after that took a walk in the park.

It was such a simple night, but made my week. Just having the chance to spend time with Matt, giving each other undivided attention outside of the house is very refreshing.

Oh and I have to add that although I had a million questions running through my mind, I didn't ask them. I love small surprises like this and Matt hates giving them, so I wasn't going to ruin one of the few chances I would get at this.

Have a wonderful weekend! Mine will be full of preparing for the next school week and watching three of my beloved niece/nephews.
