So yesterday was a particularly trying day. I'm pretty sure Wilson heard me tell Lauri over the phone that he sleeps all the time and decided to prove me wrong. Either that or he really is teething - probably both. He wouldn't sleep longer than 20 minutes and when he was awake he was incredibly needy. Poor Zina got a little neglected. My neighbor called at 5:00 and invited us to dinner. Blessed day!! So when Mark came home at 6 I told him we were going to Suzannas at 6:30. He decided to run to the store for egg nog to take with us.... or so I thought. I told him he had better be back by 6:30 or else! He said we better not leave with out him or else! So at 7:00 I was getting really angry. He had taken a WHOLE hour to go to the store to get eggnog. We had been over to Suzannas for a while (she had seen us out on the frigid sidewalk wondering where our dad was) and she had suggested we go wait at our house so that he wouldn't be angry with us for not waiting for him. While we were at Susanna's I did wonder why it didn't smell like she had made any dinner but I was much to polite to ask. When Mark showed up Susanna laughed and said, "It's about time." Mark apologized and pulled out some take out food for Zee...what the??
He then blindfolded me, drove around in circles in the parking lot and guided me up and down stairs until I heard branches whispering in the breeze (or fans I should say) and waterfalls and smelled moist soil. He had somehow with all of his looming finals found time to smuggle a candle light dinner into the school greenhouses. It was really sweet. All the lights were off and there right between the banana tree and the waterfall was a little wrought iron table and 2 chairs with candles and dinner and a single red rose. Ahh, he can be romantic! It was a fabulous end to a rather hectic day. I don't think the school would have appreciated the real candles or the toque in the doors that were supposed to be locked, but I sure did. Thanks Mark for a great night out. I love you.
So sweet!
Just proving there really was a real banana tree growing real bananas.
