K2DE2DL

If you're wondering what the heck the title says, so was I when I first starting dating Kelly. In fact this is what he had on the license plate of his truck referring to himself (pronounced K to da E to da L for Kel). Needless to say that is what I drove the first part of our marriage. IYIYIE! The reason I tell this story is because this post is about him and how he never ceases to amaze or surprise me. OK, so I know this is like the 3rd post about my bday (it feels like the never ending bday), but since I was so sick last week, Kel took me out this weekend for my bday dinner. It was a surprise. I was in fact a little annoyed in the beginning because we kept driving, and driving and driving. My husband knows that 1). I hate driving long distances because I get motion sick (doesn't he know me!) 2). waste of time and money (baby-sitter's cost, gas, etc..) 3). We have everything we could ever want or need right here in McKinney TX! (I have so very obviously lost any adventurous part of me that I might have ever had) and last and most importantly - it was 8:30 at night, I haven't eaten my dinner and I start to lose all social skills (both my mom and Kel can very much attest to that.) I try to remain calm as we go mile after mile as I am thinking about the 3 hour road trip that we could have actually been doing something rather than just driving! Babysitting time is very precious to me and I want to use every second very wisely! After getting into a slight rift, I try to keep my cool the rest of the way and just when I think that Kelly can't get any stupider he goes and totally redeems himself! We went to a great restaurant called The Reata (downtown FW). I highly recommend it, the food was divine. After dinner we walk around for a bit and then stop where a horse drawn carriage is waiting for us! I love horses! I have been so bummed that we had to cancel our trip to UT because I wanted so badly to go on a carriage ride around Temple Square. It was so romantic and so sweet. I loved looking at the historic buildings, beautiful courthouse and the night life! Then we left back on our pilgrimage to McKinney. :) Thank you Kelly for always being creative despite me being difficult and pessimistic. I love you, I love you, I love you!
