Just a Normal Friday Night

‘So, Rebekah, what did you do last night?’
‘Ah, nuthin. We had a relaxing glass of wine and sat in the backyard. I even lit the chiminea. You know, the usual.’

Then Hubby told me to get all dressed up in my cutest clothes because he was taking me out.

And yes, we had a wonderful conversation…we talked of God and politics and how wonderful each other were.

I have never felt more relaxed in my life.

What I really enjoyed about last night was there was not a single distraction. Hubby was totally focused on me and my needs.

My brother (this guy in the picture) even called, and normally Hubby always picks up his call. Last night, we were so engrossed in each others eyes that he ignored the ringing phone.

We decided to call it an early night and went home to get a good night’s rest.
We fell asleep in each other’s arms. It was a wonderful night…

Ok, so not really.
I stood for five hours in high heels on a concrete floor next to sweaty dancing people.
The bass drum ripped a hole in my chest and my ears are still ringing today.
I stood by while two tweens flirted with my husband after his performance. He did not respond to the flirting. I love that man.
We got home and fell into bed around 2 am and I had to get up for a photo shoot five hours later.
That’s normal, too..right?
