Many little girls dream of growing up and becoming a ballerina. For most of us, those dreams gave way to new ones but luckily we can live vicariously through Tiffany of Dancing Branflake. On her blog, she is kind enough to share life as a professional dancer as well enlighten us with her inspirations and uplifting posts. One of the things I love most of her blog is the honesty she offers - like in this recent post, and trust me, you'll want to be invited to all of her dinner parties!

Sometimes, maybe a few times a year, Mr. Branflake and I will randomly wake up in the middle of the night. It's as if our subconscious selves are connected and our eyes flip open and we immediately know the other is awake. This is hours before the dreaded alarm clock starts buzzing and way before daily responsibilities and the real world harshly greets us. We have opposite schedules and rarely see each other but for those few minutes we are husband and wife secluded from the world. It is like an unexpected mini date that happens in the most special way. Just thinking about it makes me smile.
What a wonderful little moment that allows a brief reconnection. Thank you Tiffany for 'opening our eyes' to stolen glances that mean so much! What little moments to share with your sweetie?
oh this is beautiful. i think that is really sweet, esp you calling it a mini date! stolen glances from my fiance still makes me giddy. :)

ReplyDeleteYou know, the first time my husband and I exchanged "I love you's" was in a moment like this.

Thank you Ashleigh for your incredibly kind words! And Lady Grey- that is the sweetest story!
ReplyDeletethat is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! :) I feel that way with my man too...like we never get enough time together, so those moments of nothingness become infinitely more special. Some nights, when we're both free, we just lay in bed and snuggle and talk about nothing and everything. And those are some of the most important moments to me.
ReplyDeleteTiffany, you make me happy :)
Thank you, Ashleigh!! :)
What a wonderful story! John and I both woke up near 4am one day, and decided to stay up together-we had the most delicious breakfast date just after 5am and it stands out as one of my favorite days ever!

ReplyDeleteHow sweet, and so perfectly represents the theme. I'll definitely have to check out Tiffany's blog - my sister managed to live the ballerina dream as well. It's such a joy to support such a beautiful yet underrated art.
