I have the best husband ever! You know how opposites attract? Well, I tend to be very, very frugal -- Ethan thinks sometimes to the point of being ridiculous. (And he's probably right!)
Today he called me and said he had been looking up activities for someone stuck on bedrest to do, and one that he thought would work for us would be to have a date night with dinner brought in from a restaurant. He asked how I might like having some Goodwood pulled pork . It sounds heavenly! But I couldn't help but be concerned if we had the money for it. I told him I'd rather save our date until I was home again and healed and we could have a celebration out. So he says, why not do both? I was really struggling with this and he pointed out that maybe with all that I've been through the past couple months it was okay to spend $10 on dinner. I like his logic. I'm grateful that he sometimes pushes me to have a little fun!
P.S. Just in case pulled pork sounds good to you too, you can get a pound off the Goodwood a la carte menu for just $10. It is delicious!

After all these years it is still so funny to me how much Ethan and I are alike and how much you and Jeff are alike. Remember when we'd always say that? Jeff is definately a penny pincher (and Ilove him for it!). Every single dime we spend is written down in our little budget log. While I am a deal finder and don't really like to spend money either, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't pinch pennies quite like we do and would say what Ethan said "let's do both!". A good investment in your marriage :D
I am glad you were able to enjoy some food from the outside world :D
What a neat idea! I think it's so neat how God crafts our spouses to round out who we are and stretch us. (Well - okay - I don't always enjoy the stretching part while I'm going through it.)
I'm glad you got a special treat from your hubby. GO ETHAN!
oh goodwood! what a guy!!! try to lay back and relax some.
That does sound delicious! I am glad you let yourself have some fun because you really deserve it! :)
How sweet of Ethan to be thinking of you like that. You've got a good one there!
