I actually bought a couple of new books a few days ago. One for me about flirting and the other one for him about marriage. I realized the book I am reading is so indept that he probably would put it down after the first few pages. He isn't a reader. The book I got for him is called Making Marriage Work for Dummies. It's a hands-on guide that is bigger print and smaller chapters. A few of the things in this book that caught my eye is a discussion on depression and mid-life crisis. When I gave it to him he asked me if I really thought he would read all of that. The book has a little over 300 pages. I told him I didn't expect him to read everything but I thought he would read at least the main things involving us. I told him if he wasn't going to read it I would take it back. He told me he would look through it and give it a try.
Today was my youngest daughters football game. She is in pep-squad. He called me to see what time the game starts. He actually came to the game. He was going to get something to eat from concession and asked if I wanted anything. I told him I was going to take the girls out to eat Chinese after the game. He said that sounded good and he would wait to eat. I had to come home first. Before leaving to go out to eat he called wanting to know where I was. He told me he was already at the Chinese place waiting on us. When we got there he had already order our drinks and at the end he paid the whole ticket.
All this is surprising to me. I can't recall him every going to a football game with me. Usually one of us would take the kids to the game. We haven't went out to eat in about two month's now. He was in a extremely happy mood which he really hasn't been in lately. The whole family enjoyed themselves tonight.
