My Blind Date

Alright, I just have to tell you guys about something that happened yesterday. This is hands down one of the nicest things, if not THE nicest thing a friend has ever done for me. Yesterday afternoon Chad got home from work and we were playing with Luke on the floor in his room. It was around 5:30pm, and I got to thinking about what we were going to do for dinner. I asked Chad what he thought, and he told me that I had to get in the shower and get ready because someone was coming over. I said, "Awe honey, how sweet, you got me a stripper." (Of course, I was kidding!) He said that whoever was coming, was going to take me out for the evening, and that I had the night off. Let me tell you guys, I was speechless! I proceeded to get out of my sweats, and get ready for a night out with someone...who, I had no idea? I told Chad whoever it was must be a really special friend to go to such lengths for me. No kidding, I felt like I was getting ready to go on a blind date. I was so nervous and excited. I was trying to speculate who on earth it could be.

Well she showed up right on time, 6:30pm. She brought me some flowers, and she took me to dinner. We had such a great time, and I hadn't felt that special to a friend in a long time, if ever. Thank you Tera Self! You have inspired me to make other women in my life know without a doubt that they are special and loved. I hope this blog inspires others, too. There is a real power in the sincere friendship of our girlfriends. It is something that is too often neglected. Thank you Tera for being such an amazing friend. God has definitely given me a blessing in you.

Also, thank you to my husband for being so supportive and an important part of this evening. Thanks for being on "Luke duty." I have no doubt you boys had a great time playing chase all night long.
