So last night was a long awaited date night for the Taviano's. Angie was nice and took the kiddos over to her parent's house so I could get my exercising in for the day(now riding 10 miles a day on a bike, that consists of pedaling). After she got home we were in a rush because it was 5:35 and we had to be at the movie theater by 7PM....and we had yet to eat dinner.
We left the house and headed for La Charreada, which used to consist of me eating these crazy fattening nachos, but now have found that they have a nice La Charreada salad, called none other than, La Carreada salad. After eating we stopped at Speedway, so I could get a big water, due to the Movie theater keeping inventory of the pop they sale, by the cups that they use, and allowing you to have a dixie cup to drink water out of!!
We get to the movie at 6:55, walk in, Angie got a large popcorn and in we walked..to a theater half full of ALL WOMEN, and one other guy, who seemed to chuckle at being comfortable after one other guy walked in!!! We sat down, I made some jokes about being there, Angie said...you can go watch something else if you want...but truthfully I would not have wanted to be any other place!!!!
The movie started and for an hour and a half of my life....I really was quite suprised at my reaction to this movie!!! It truly is a great love story..and what it actually has taught me, is that the one you are with, that you are married to...needs to feel the same love for her when you first met her..
When you first meet her, you would go over and beyond whatever is necessary to keep a relationship strong, because you want it to be more than strong you want it to be PERFECT!! So midway through the movie, I grabbed Angie's hand and held it as if we were venturing off on a date back in high school....and she has not heard this yet..but I looked at her and said to God....Man you put me with a keeper, someone I do not deserve, but yet you know I need!!! You see many times in relationships we forget the feeling we had when we first met our spouse, and we become used to coming home, and having dinner there, or everything in order and truly take for granted what God has given you...and believe me I am not writing this because I am in the dog house....I do not think I am even an arm length away from the kennel at this time. I am writing this to show the importance of treasuring what God has given you here on this earth...so if you are married and you are reading this....realize what you have !! If you are dating and you are reading this...realize that this maybe the person that God has for you for life...and you better go above and beyond to make sure this is someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. If you are divorced and are reading this...realize that God has a redemptive mind and wants to place someone in your life that you can love all over again. If you are anyone reading this...realize that a relationship with someone else is only as good as your relationship with Christ!! If your relationship sucks, one of you probably need to get right with God!!!
So I leave you with this!!! She may not see it all the time, and I know I am not perfect...but man I definitely married up!!! and am soooo grateful to have the wife that I do...and I would even go see Nights in Rodanthe a second time!!!
Please Read Ephesians 5:25
Keep it flowing,
Tug
