He asked if I had any plans or thoughts about it, to which I replied, of course, &#8220;No.&#8221;  Then he shared that, since we never go out for such things, wouldn&#8217;t it be nice, if we offered to child-sit for another couple, so that they could have a night together?  My heart melted instantly as I was reminded why I love this man so dearly.<\/p>\n<p>There are few gifts which can top getting to make that phone call to friends offering a night out as a couple.  They were thrilled &#8211; they were planning to go out for dinner as a family, but were thankful for the chance to go to their favorite Thai restaurant &#8211; which the kids do not enjoy.  Their kids came over and had a great time with our kids, the two hours flew by way too fast, and it was joyous to be a part of such a wonderful win, win, win situation.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, my love, for being you and for loving me so deeply.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit addtoany_list\"><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nvar a2a_config = a2a_config || {};\na2a_config.linkname=\"Can I Brag?\";\na2a_config.linkurl=\"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/?p=25\";\n\/\/--><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/menu\/page.js\"><\/script>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I&#8217;m fairly new to this whole blogging thing, and I&#8217;m not quite sure if there&#8217;s an unspoken etiquette on posting, but I simply must do a little bragging about my wonderful husband.We don&#8217;t really &#8220;do&#8221; holidays or anniversaries or anything, we don&#8217;t observe them, we never buy gifts or cards, but after almost 13 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit addtoany_list\"><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\na2a_config.linkname=\"Can I Brag?\";\na2a_config.linkurl=\"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/?p=25\";\na2a.init('page');\n\/\/--><\/script>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-holidays","category-love"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/moavenz.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
