Differents

My sweet husband and I went on our first date tonight as a "married couple." It was different. Not a bad different, just different. For instance, we went out for sushi and as we were talking about what to order, he asked me if it was in our budget to get three rolls instead of just two. That never happened before. Also, when the check came, I signed it and I kept the receipt instead of him. That also had never happened before (he was such a good guy to date!). It was different.
And it wasn't just the money thing, it just felt different. We didn't have to have "trying to impress you" conversations. We just chatted. We didn't have to constantly be seeking ways to touch each other. We just enjoyed the closeness. It was a really nice different!
After diner, I went shopping for a new bra (coupon + gift card = new bra!) and Isaac got to help me pick it out. We browsed styles and colors and then when the lady escorted me back to the dressing rooms, she told Isaac he could join me. He was happy to oblige and enjoyed giving his opinions on how the different bras looked on me. It was definitely different picking out a bra, on a date, with a guy in the room with you. A fun different!
We made our way over to the bookstore and wandered around picking up books that looked interesting, weird, and terrible. Something we both enjoy doing. We finally headed home and for the first time after a date, we got to go into the same home and stay there. I like going home with my husband! Its a very pleasant feeling.....a good different!
