Redemption

This weekend was probably one of the best weekends I have ever had! D and I were able to talk and get through our rough time on Thursday and we decided to get away for the weekend. We headed up to Denver for a weekend to celebrate us, get away from everything and everyone and just unwind! We left Saturday morning and made a pit stop at the outlet mall in Castle Rock. Found some amazing deals and really had fun just shopping and strolling arm in arm with him. By the time we left, we made it to our hotel in the early evening. We picked a pretty great hotel....it was cheaper than most but was actually quite perfect. We had a room that had a little living room in it and made it look like a little studio apartment. The best part was this beautiful lake right next to the hotel! We have this affinity for lakes which I love, and it really helped in the decision making process on where to stay. Once we got into the room, we were trying to decide on what to do, and he left something in the car that would help us decide, so he went down to get it. During that time, I decided to pull out my surprise now...I bought myself lingerie, which I have NEVER done before. I really feel comfortable around him and wanted to do something out of the ordinary and wanted to feel sexy, which I have also never done before. The look on his face was absolutely worth every bit of money spent on it. I have never felt more desired in my life. It was extraordinary! I just melted! We decided that the theme for the night should be just that, doing things outside of our norm and really just enjoying each other's company. We headed toward downtown Denver and our first stop was the Cheesecake Factory for a really nice and romantic dinner. We had this cute little secluded booth that was so perfect. With full bellies, we left the restaurant and headed out on 16th Street Mall. We heard something like a concert going on and as we approached, we discovered it was a huge movie screen set up in this park in the middle of downtown and it was showing E.T. We were over the moon excited that we actually get to participate in this cute little event! It was amazing to cuddle together in the grass as a nice breeze blew across us, watching E.T. and getting to enjoy the beautiful cityscape as a backdrop! The movie ended and we continued on our way down the mall, this time ending up at Starbucks for some late night coffee. As we were leaving, the guy behind the counter smiled at us admiring how in love we looked and offered us some dessert on him! We spent the rest of our time taking in the scenery and stopping to listen to a jazz band on the balcony of a shop. We stopped at a liquor store on the strip and got a bottle of wine and spent the rest of our night next to the lake talking, cuddling and making love. It was the most romantic and wonderful night! I couldn't have asked for anything better! That weekend was exactly what we needed, and brought us closer. I can honestly say that I am totally in love with this man! It has taken me by complete surprise, but I couldn't be happier!
