last night as we were going to bed, i told nathan i wanted to do something fun today. something we dont usually do, something that enabled us to go outside and enjoy the sunshine, something worthy of taking up our saturday. so we woke up this morning, got ready, took the duke to kips house and headed out to our day date: santa monica.
as we drove we talked: a lot. we talked about jesus and our marriage. the things we want to see in the future with our church and in our lives- that conversation in itself was fulfilling and made our saturday glorious.
but it didnt end there.
we went to old navy for some stellar shopping- i couldnt find anything so we went upstairs to the mens section and on a table where they had the mens jeans we found them: the jeans. they were exactly what nathan has been looking for; right color, right size, right everything but no price tag. they didnt even belong on that table and we coudnt find them anywhere, but nathan tried them on and they fit like a dream. so we went to pay for them and we held out breathes as she typed in the code. our fingers shook, our hearts beat faster: how much are these magic pants?!!?!
$5.
it was amazing! it was perfect, and it was a great start to our day date. the rest of the day consisted of walking around and holding hands, it was pretty much perfect. we walked on 3rd street, walked down to the pier, ate burgers and had delicious lemonade, and did some pretty smokin' people watching.
the day was fun and now i am totally beat.
i think it's nap time now....

That is a great pic of the sign and pier!
I am glad you had a great day.. Days like that when you are married are the ones you remember when your older..
You know I haven't been to Santa Monica since I was 9. Still looks the same, so beautiful!
Glad you are well and happy sweetie!
And I love the "magic pants" that's exactly what I would have said about them!
