I Can't Believe He Said That!

I am in Utah at a Women's Conference where I will be speaking tomorrow. I'm here with one of my daughters. We called home this morning to say hello to Paul and to find out how things had been going since we left 24 hours ago. While we were talking we realized Phil was on the line so he joined in on the conversation. When it was time to say good bye Paul told me he loved me and then I heard "I love you Sweetness." "Did Phil really say that?" I asked Paul. He confirmed while Phil said "Oh boo hoo." in an affected voice. That is usually how he responds when I tell him I love him. He has told me before that he loves me but so rarely that it is indeed special when he does.
