True Love

Jeff called his mom on Wednesday to ask if she'd watch Carson on Saturday afternoon, so that we could celebrate Valentines Day. She agreed. Then she told Jeff... to tell me... that their Stake was having a Valentines Dance that evening, and we should go.

"Okay. I'll tell her," were his words as he hung up the phone. Then he went back to studying. I looked at him for a moment, waiting for a message to be relayed, and he said nothing.
"What did she say?" I asked.
"Oh. She said that was fine," he said with his eyes glued to his laptop.
"Great. What did she want you to tell me?"
Not looking up he said, "There is a Stake dance that night and she said we are welcome to come."

I got really excited and responded with, "Ooooooo.... we're going!!!!" (There may have been some clapping on my part) "Do you want me to get the swing dance video from the library so we can practice?"
"Um, no." Jeff responded.

You see, Jeff is great to humor me at home. So, when I bring home "Learn How to Swing," an instructional DVD from the library, he'll dance with me. And he'll dance with me in the kitchen,and other rooms of the house, but NEVER in public. In fact, we've only danced together...in public...ONCE! It was our Wedding Day.

Jeff is a crack-up at home, but somewhat reserved in public. He wouldn't choose to embarrass or humiliate himself without just cause. I, on the other hand, would volunteer for it.

So, in honor of Valentines Day... I invite you see how much my husband TRULY LOVES me, by showing never before seen footage of our First (and only) Dance in public. (P.S. Even I'm embarrassed to watch it)




I love you, sweetheart!

P.S. He's probably going to make me delete this post. SO watch it quick!
