But this story also got me thinking about one night that changed my life. The only thing that came to mind was the one night I went on a date with my DH, and it was the 2nd date . He had gotten my fave foods , and magic shell. We watched movies, and talked very late or into the early morning. We got to know another , and this is one of my fave memories because I ended marrying him. But this one date changed my life in a good way.

Here is the information about the story from goodreads :  When Jonah is forced to move from Hamilton to Cross Pointe for the second half of his senior year, "miserable" doesn't even begin to cover it. He feels like the doggy-bag from his mother's first marriage and everything else about her new life—with a new husband, new home and a new baby—is an upgrade. The people at Cross Pointe High School are pretentious and privileged—and worst of all is Brighton Waterford, the embodiment of all things superficial and popular. Jonah’s girlfriend, Carly, is his last tie to what feels real... until she breaks up with him.

For Brighton, every day is a gauntlet of demands and expectations. Since her father died, she’s relied on one coping method: smile big and pretend to be fine. It may have kept her family together, but she has no clue how to handle how she's really feeling. Today is the anniversary of his death and cracks are beginning to show. The last thing she needs is the new kid telling her how much he dislikes her for no reason she can understand. She's determined to change his mind, and when they're stuck together for the night, she finally gets her chance.

Jonah hates her at 3p.m., but how will he feel at 3 a.m.?

One night can change how you see the world. One night can change how you see yourself.

  2. This sounds so sweet.

    Mine would be the night my DH (then friend) brought me to a drive thru for food and we ended up sitting in the parking lot most of the night telling stories and laughing. I knew right then that he was it for me - even though I had known him a long time before that as a friend. Everything just changed that night.
