Hello to all my Blogland friends...
Just wanted to say hello and let you know I am still here.
I have been on a roller coaster ride of emotions over the past few weeks.
I have not had the opportunity to create anything as of late. My husband saw the stress I was under and the emotional toil I was in and decided to take me out on a special date on Friday night. Apparently, my DH had planned this night out for a week or so now (must have felt really bad for me...smiles). He made all the arrangements for our children to be watched for the evening and He wouldn't tell me where we were going the night of the event...total surprise for me. Turns out, our date was to a Night Club called Blue's Alley in DC.

As we walked to the club, my DH held my hand. Okay, this is big for him and I was quite tickled to say the least. When we arrived to the club (my first time), I found out who we were going to see. The performer for the night was Jonathan Butler! It was by reservation only and the tickets, I later found out were quite expensive and sold out (Go Steven!) We had a beautiful dinner by candlelight and the atmosphere was warm and romantic. Jonathan Butler was amazing as was his daughter who sang a few duets with her dad. At the end of the show, Mr. Butler autographed his latest CD that we purchased and allowed us to get a picture with him individually. My DH was a bit camera shy but took a photo with him anyway. He really wanted one with me and Mr. Butler so I was able to get a nice photo as well.
Jonathan Butler and Me!
I didn't realize how small Mr. Butler was till I saw him on stage and took this picture with him.
Don't know why I look so much bigger...must be the lighting (smiles)!
Didn't get a photo with my DH but we had such a wonderful time that the memory is forever imprinted in my heart and mind.
Thank you Steven for a wonderful evening and knowing that I needed time away from the stresses of life...
And to my blog land friends...
I'm still here...don't forget about me...
Hugs...
