in the mood for love

I would like to submit that I have the world's BEST husband. I'm pretty sure that he is the best man in the world. Last night he proved me right again. Our stake holds a Valentine's dance every year, we went last year and it was okay, kind of a Napolean Dynomite version of a dance, if you know what I mean... but nevertheless I wanted to go again this year, mostly because I love any excuse to dance. Well anyway, we decided that it probably wouldn't work to go because I don't want to leave Ethan with a teenage babysitter when he's 3months old. And I didn't want to ask one of our friends, because they wanted to go to the dance themselves. Oh well, I thought, maybe another time. But, yesterday morning there was an invition taped to the cupboard in the kitchen when I got up, inviting me to an "exclusive occasion..." When Craig got home from work, we put the kids to bed and then he told me to go upstairs and get all dressed up. He came and got me 1/2 an hour later, and when he brought me down the entire family room was transformed into a dance hall. There were pink and red streamers everywhere, balloons, candles, a table with cookies, strawberries, and punch, and music playing. Craig was all dressed up and he said that since we couldn't go to the dance he decided to bring the dance to me! He even made a special CD of our favorite dance songs. It was so much fun, we danced for about an hour, had treats, and I even taught Craig how to swing dance. We ended the night with U2's "With or Without You" taking us back to our high school days! It was perfect. And the kids have had a blast playing with all the balloons this morning!
