Couples Skate

I'm so behind on blogging. I've missed 2 important monthly updates for Bubbers. I feel horrible. I need to blog again soon and catch up. Time just goes so fast.

Yesterday was July 4th. Keely and Jeff have started a great tradition of having a cook-out for our entire family, and Jeff's family too. There's always great food, stories, fireworks and memories (Except where there was a crazy firework last night that blew up on Jeff and shot at Brady. That wasn't a great memory, but something we won' t forget for a long time, thank God everyone is okay!) It's something that Dave and I look forward to each July.

We were pulling into the garage last night, with full bellies and a sleepy little boy when Dave got super excited about a song on the radio. I was only half listening, already planning my route to get from point A (the car) to point B (my bed!) Besides that, Dave had on 95.7 WAOR Dee Snyder's The House Of Hair, which I typically consider his "angry music" and usually tune out. He pulled in, looked at me and said, "Wait! You've got to hear this, don't go anywhere." So I sat there dutifully, as a wife should when her husband tells her too. Soon after the song started, my usually very unromantic husband reaches across the van seats, grabs my hand and says (direct quote!) "You gotta hold my hand, this is couples skate." As in the roller rink couples skate. At this point, I was so tired, and in pain from my hand, I thought perhaps it was all a dream...or the pain meds talking.

So we're sitting in the van, in our garage at 5 till 11, holding hands for a "couples skate." Then, about 30 seconds later, he says, (another direct quote) "Do you want to dance with me." Let's recap, this is my Dave, who does not do this kind of thing, does not dance with me at weddings...only promised me one dance at our own wedding. And he's asking me to dance at 10:55 pm in the garage on July 4th, 2010. So I of course jump at the chance! He turns the van radio up, jumps out on his side, comes over to mine and we danced...WE DANCED in our garage to Steelheart's "I'll Never Let You Go."

He has since decided this is now our song.

I love my Dave.
