A Real Date

Today was a normal Thursday with several hours at my mom's.  However, at 4:30, Bill and I left and went on a "real date".  We went out to dinner at Filippa's (had a coupon) then visited Diane and Randie.  We RARELY go out to dinner - lunch or breakfast is always cheaper.  And, it always seems that on a "date day" we end up shopping.  Not this time.  The best part of the evening was how blessed we are to have been able to go out.  It's been 6 months and 1 week since Bill began chemo and I never thought we'd be able to go out because he's been feeling so bad.  He's grateful for the 2 weeks the doctor gave him off of chemo.  He said that he's finally feeling like his old self.  It was a nice date.
