{Making Time For Date Night}

Monday, July 25, 2011

like most people, our date nights are usually a little too few and far between.
saturday night grandma & grandpa agreed (notice i didn't say offered)
 to take the kids for a few hours saturday night and although we wondered if we should save
 the night of babysitting until we really had something going on, we decided we really
 needed a night out together.
away from home. and any children.

we decided to drive to a little town about thirty minutes away for mexican.
i know, that's really a new one for us...but we do love our mexican and margaritas.
frozen margaritas in this heat really hit the spot, by the way.
it was the perfect night for a drive home through the country, so we took the long way home.
i love driving along the country roads lined with cornfields on both sides, no street lights,
the sky completely dark so you can see all the stars.









i think date nights are really important,
 to be able to have a block of uninterrupted time together, just the two of us.
 sure, it's hard to make the time, to find someone to keep the kids and all that,
 but i think they are so very necessary and we try to make them a priority as often as we can.
so thank you grandma & grandpa.

 ps- next time they are spending the night!


happy monday, y'all!

  3. Ohmygoodness, it's so something we need to do_ date nights. It is hard to find someone to watch our kids etc...and so we have to be really creative nabbing that time alone.

  4. Date nights sure are important. Sure would make it easier if the grandparents would just offer every once in a while though. I hate asking (imposing) but ya gotta do it!
