Never had a day like this, greater than great

Hi girls,
To say I am glowing would be a great understatement. Yesterday was a good day. It started off kinda rough, at least for my wife. I added this to my "wife is back" thread. But the day ended with us cuddling in bed with some gentle lip kisses, and the words "I love you".
Today I got up at 5:30 and she was already in the shower. I went to the kitchen and poured as each a cup of coffee and fixed it how we both like it. I returned to our bathroom knocked on the door and she opened it clad only in her bath towel. I handed her a cup of coffee, she thanked me and I returned to the living room to drink my coffee and put some music on.
I then caught up on some reading on the forum, and drank my coffee. She came out later all made up, and dressed really nice, as per usual. We had some really nice conversation, she caught up on her email and we embraced and kissed each other goodbye and exchanged "I love you" and I said "be careful" a common southern phrase used when someone you care about leaves your home, that I picked up when we lived in Tennessee.
I had another cup of coffee and decided to get her things unpacked and put away, so It would not bother me. I am kind of a clean freak, although i am not insane about it, I mean I don't live in a museum, you can sit and eat in the living room if you are an adult and clean your mess up.
Well, I ended up doing spring cleaning because I did not like how things were put away before she left, and if I put them back that way, I would hate myself. To make a long story short, I did not finish until 12:30 pm.
So I showered, shaved, moisturized, put on some wonderful body spray. Then dressed in some casual clothes. Coulettes, a nice blouse, and standard accessories. While unpacking my wife's things I came across the ruby and diamond heart neclace that goes with the earrings she gave me yesterday. I could not resist putting it on. It felt great because she used to wear it all the time, it was a representation of my love of her. I have since bought her another diamond necklace that she prefers.
Like most GG's I don't put on all my makeup everyday. I have pretty nice skin so usually if I am casual I just wear some mascara, a little eyeliner on top and some lipstick. But today I was feeling so good I decided to put all my makeup on. Not like for an evening on the town, but like a GG would for work. Which for me means a little less blush, a little less eyeliner, and no eyeshadow.
My oldest son told me that he needed a ride to his girlfriends house and then he was going to the mall. This meant that I would be taking the younger boys on my errands. I then decided to bribe them by offering to take them to that mall as well.
So we went did the errands, and they were hungry so I took them to Taco Bell. We ate inside, and they were saying hey dad this, and hey dad that. It really made other people at ease seeing I was not a monster, but a dad whose children loved him, and relied on him. And they obviously don't have a a problem with me. We ate, talked, laughed and basically was ourselves.
We then took off to the Mall. We went all over, they wanted to go to the video game stores, and of all things, the book store. They also wanted to go to the store that sells DVD's. I jokingly told them to hurry me by the womens clothes section of JCPenny, and when they detoured me away from the women's clothes, I faulted them for taking me right to the women's shoes, even worse! We laughed about it, and they had huge smiles on their faces. Because me and my wife were divorcing, I stiffed her on her birthday. It still did not sit right with me, So I went to Bath and Body and bought her a gift pack of some great smelly stuff she loves.
Everyone treated us great. I mean not just nice, but extra nice. There is no doubt I get treated better when dressed, than in boy mode. I have brought this up before, and now everyone sees it is so. Because I had such a long day and did a lot of walking, I was really hurting because of my fibro, so had to cut our trip short. My kids are understanding about my illness and it was not a problem.
We had to stop at the grocery store on the way home because I wanted to make my wife a special dinner too. But in the checkout line I remembered I had not got her a card. So reluctantly left the checkout line right as it was my turn.
But as I approached the cards a women was headed my way. She was clearly a crossdresser. She had a short boys haircut styled like a boy, boys jeans, boys button up shirt, no make up. She was clearly trying to look as much like a boy as possible.
I could not resist, as she passed me, I said with a big smile "how are you?"
She lit up and said "great" And then she just started talking to me as if we were old friends. My kids were at the magazine rack waiting for me, so we were alone. I could not help but think about anyone looking at this. The girl who wants to be a boy, with the boy who wants to be a girl. Both trying to make the other feel good about themselves. This could only happen to me.
Then at the checkout the clerk was an attractive early 40's woman with a great smile and she called me "hon" and then as she handed me my reciept, "there you go sweetie". It was just great.
So I started my wife's dinner and addmittedly was somewhat apprehensive about her arrival home with me dressed, and all my makeup on. This would be another first.
She arrived sooner than I expected and if she was shocked seeing me, she had her poker face on, because she showed no sign of surprise at all. I told her that I had something for her and handed it to her. She read the card, and opened the smelly stuff, then she came over to embrace me and kiss me.
Not only was this our first fully dressed with makeup on kiss, but I had just redone my lipstick. This was our first lipstick kiss. I did not realize it until our lips touched and I could feel my lipstick. I pulled away from the first kiss feeling self conscious, but she reached to kiss me again and we kissed twice more
I don't have the words to tell you how this felt. Here I was in a loving kiss with my wife, with my children present, while fully dressed, full makeup, and lipstick, and she was not only ok with it, she was loving.
We watched the Raiders snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We are both Raiders fans, and always yell and scream during the game, proclaiming cheating refs, bad coaching. All while I was in full girl mode. Just like the kids, she forgot I was even dressed, and we were just ourselves. We talked eye to eye like we always do, and there was no apprehension on her part at all.
I brushed my teeth, turned our bed down for her and got her blankets ready. (we have always slept with seperate blankets because we both roll up in them) I put my night gown on, and because I had gone to fill her car up so she would be ready in the morning, I had redone my lipstick again. We again embraced and again we had another lipstick kiss.
She has finally looked past the makeup, and realized that it is still just me. It was such a great day I just don't have words. Since turning my will over to my God, it seems things just keep getting better everyday. And everyday just seems to brings some new delight.
I love you all,
Elizabeth

Good show, Elizabeth! May you and yours find each other more with each new day!
