Dating my husband

Garnet and I decided that we would go on a date once a month starting this year. We saw that there were so many other things taking priority over our relationship and decided to make US a priority. So we had our second official date of the year this weekend. It was very nice. Our friend Steve was turning 30 so there was a surprise birthday party for him - Garnet and I went out for dinner first and then had a great time at the party.
It's nice for us to get out and look pretty once in a while and Tim loves having a babysitter. It makes to be a very expensive night when it's all done -- but that's why we're only making it once a month. It just means Tim may not have a college fund -- but hey, it's worth it cause we're dating again!! ;)

sounds wonderful jess ;)

derek and i started having weekly date nights when we were dating. i was starting to feel unsure about the relationship and my friend from one of my 3 jobs at the time asked "how much time are you spending with him?" and i said "hmmm, not much really." and she said "maybe you should try that first!" and so we began our weekly date nights. am i glad i did :D

its pretty crazy to think that we have been having weekly dates for nearly 6 years! of course we dont always dress up or go out, but it is a night that is reserved for us to decide what we want to do.

Keep the Romance Alive!! (that warranted capital letters you'll note).

yes it does warrant capital letters -- it's hard to do when you get a family and busy with everything else....but it's sssoooo worth it!!
good for you guys to already have that routine in your marriage - it will help you a lot once little salmon comes!!
