Date Nights

Although we haven't gotten any pictures of them, we have had a few fabulous date nights recently.

Yesterday we got to go to the Postal Service. This was my belated birthday present celebration. Tickets went on sale the day of my birthday and sold out. Cole worked his magic and made sure we got tickets. So, the night was spent first at a nice dinner at Fork. We don't get to eat out at too many nice places anymore so I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.

The concert was fabulous, and the house was packed at the Knitting Factor! Although we weren't crazy about the opening act, the Postal Service didn't disappoint. Cole and I share a love for concerts and ones like this where we have been listening to them for a decade are really special for us. It brings me closer to my love. Yes the concert was on a Tuesday, so there wasn't much excitement afterwards since I had to work.

Marcus did fabulous with Aunt Megan and she said for the first time ever he didn't cry when we left. I think he is finally starting to get over his separation anxiety and slowly realizing that we will come back.

This past weekend Marcus had his second sleepover with Kay. It had been a few months since the last one so we figured it was time to try again. I was just as nervous as the first time, but I think he did better. He actually ran to Kay for the first time ever when he saw her as we were dropping him off. Now this was proceeded by crying once he realized that we weren't going to eat dinner with them, but I was told he was okay after Jim and Grae cheered him up.

I bet you can't guess what Cole and I did....that's right, another concert! This time we were on the complete opposite end of the music spectrum and saw DJ Rusko who is a house/techno music performer. Once again tickets were sold out and the performance was good. We actually did like one of the openers Candyland better than Rusko. I am still undecided on what I think of the Revolution Concert House as a venue, but at least the music was good. Jake, Jessica, Joe and Coco went with us and we had a great time. Cole and I were able to go home and have some quality alone time just the two of us after the concert and the next morning before we had to go and pick up Marcus.

The best part about picking up Marcus after the long time away from him....I got my first unsolicited kiss from him. It was perfect. I was radiating love as I could just tell it was his way of saying mom I missed you so much. Now since then, I get these unsolicited kisses a little more frequently. They are still so very special, but that first one trumps them all. Now to just wait until one of those days where I hear 'I love you'.
