Oh, oh, oh...it's Magic

Last night was a date night. With our crazy work schedules and everything, C.J. and I have not been on a date in a long time. Yes, we see each other everyday, we usually have lunch and/or dinner with each other on a daily basis, we watch movies together at home, and other everyday tasks...we do them together. But, we had not been on a date. You know, the kind where you both get dressed up and then go do something you wouldn't normally do. The fun kind of date.

Dressing up--it is magical. There is something about getting all dolled up to go out that just makes everything so fabulous. I have realized that when I get all caught up in school and work and the monotony of it all, all I have to do to get a little bit of rejuvenation back is make an effort to get dressed up. Whether it be for a date or for no reason at all, getting all pretty seems to make things so much better. I love it! It is such an easy and fun fix to a problem.

As for the date, we went to this wonderful steakhouse in OKC (they have great steaks and delectable dessert!), then we went to a movie. It was a great evening away from our work, school, and everything else at home.

So, as you go about your day or your week, don't let things get boring. If you have to wear pearls to wash the dishes, if you feel the need to put on a cute pair of heels for work, or if you think your family needs to get dressed up for supper, do it! It does wonders. Most importantly, always remember...it's the random reasons...
