A few weeks ago, I scheduled Friday haircuts with Aunt Kelsey for all of the girls (with the exception of me). I was badly overdue for a cut and hoping for a color but just couldn't find a time to get it done when Courtney would be home to watch the girls. However, when he ended up getting home from Moab a little earlier than expected, I hijacked the appointment. (My hair was in pretty bad shape, Okay? And we all agree the girls look cute no matter what, right?) Happily, I left everyone to his care and headed for a few hours of me time. (I first typed the words "girl time", but then realized I get a lot of girl time, not so much me time!)
I had a super evening chatting with Kelsey while she made me pretty. We decided to go a little darker with my color, but when she was styling it after the cut we were both a bit disappointed it didn't change as much as we'd hoped. As I was her last appointment for the day, she suggested that we just do it again. I guess I was enjoying my time off so much I didn't even think to call Courtney, who I'd scheduled a hot date with following my haircut. As I was leaving in the dark, I realized I'd been gone over six hours! I looked at my phone to call Court and tell him I was on my way when I had to laugh at the text message he'd sent a few hours earlier.
It read, "Are you alive?"
When I called him, the first thing he said is, "I was just wondering if Kelsey cut each hair individually!"
We had a good laugh.
When I got home, he and the girls were settled in for a movie night. Curlers in the hair, p.j's, and dad's famous popcorn. . .it doesn't get any better.
I sat down by Courtney on the couch to chat for a while. When I looked over at him, I had to smile when I saw this:
Turns out we just had a hot date at home that night. I really love this guy.
