As there is only one in San Antonio, I figured we were going to the mission. Nope! He met me with a grin and a borrowed portable DVD player. We drove to a church parking lot and watched Monty Python's the meaning of life, with the DVD perched on the dash of his car, leaning in the hear it - singing the songs together. He even stopped by a store and bought some popcorn. After, we drove to my street - a long quiet one, and parked under an old oak. He had remembered I liked an album by "meat loaf" and we sang the whole thing together. It was the first time I'd sung with anyone in years. I'll never forget that first date This life and this love are the stories we write We are free to write the truth, or lies or to tear the pages To cherish, and erase, rewrite and start over Mate it better, make it stronger, plot twists and the impossible happiness that comes from unexpected love and forgiveness Make it up as we go along, to have faith in the story And never ever, ever give up – no matter what Or to leave the book on a park bench in the rain and walk away, saying how sorry we were

I shipped the kids to my mom's last night, came home & told hubby we were going out but wasn't going to tell him anything else. While he showered & changed, I packed a bag of snacks, the DVD player, "our" movie (The Princess Bride) and a blanket (it's realllly cold here!) into the back of the car. I preset the GPS (first to Starbucks and then to the beach) and handed him the keys. We sat in the back seat together. It was a nice to be close with no pressure to talk yet we were able to talk if we wanted to.
