our romantic evening

So a little Jacob and Lisa History 101. When we first started dating (over 10 years ago) I had a Chicago CD. I loved this CD, and by loved I mean listened to it nearly every night as I sang my heart out with tears streaming down my face... so I was really bummed when a friend borrowed it and lost it. Jacob and I were at Best Buy about a week later. He wanted to buy me the CD, and surprise me later. So naturally then the 19 year old boy in baggy jeans took the still unpurchased CD and hid it into his sleeve as he was walking around the store with me. Well of course the security cameras caught him and he had to explain himself to the Best Buy manager, the security officer and the girl that he had just started dating that he was not trying to shop lift the CD... the CD that was hidden in his clothes... hidden in his clothes not yet purchased. Eventually the manager believed him and I (being enamored) could only see that he was willing to do crazy things to make me happy.

Fast forward to this weekend (our 8th wedding anniversary). Jacob surprised me with a babysitter, dinner at J'Bucks and tickets to go and see Chicago on the lawn at the amphitheater. Being St. Louis of course it rained, and apparently Peter Cetera quit (what the heck Peter!) But Jacob bought me a funnel cake, and he had brought a tarp, that we cuddled under during the rain to the greatest love ballads ever written... so I (still enamored) could only see that he was still willing to do crazy things to make me happy. How crazy romantic is he!?!?!
