Will & I went on a date last Saturday night. (Thank you, Shannie, Pootie, Bubba, & Caroline!!!!) January 29, 2011. You know when we began planning this? Take a wild guess. About 2 months ago! It was in November, I believe, I realized with the business of Christmas & get togethers that by January, we would need some time to “wine & dine” each other. I sent “Shannie” a text to “ask” (haha, there’s no need to ask!) if she’d be willing to let Leslie spend the night, so we could stay out late without interrupting Leslie’s sleep. The answer is always a big fat YES from her. :)
Am I saying I need a break from my kid? Definitely not. A few times between November & the big night, I tried to tell myself that we should just take her along with us! She really is a good kid – easy to take out, and so much fun to be around. But “date night” is very important to the health of a marriage. That applies to if you have kids or not. We did this before we got married, so why did we quit? Were we just trying to reel them in, and then just be roommates? No way. Will is my Prince Charming! I had fun getting all dolled up for a night on the town with him. This was a night to be friends, and to be a couple. A night to not talk about the bills, about work, about church, and to just not talk about life in general. A time to just enjoy each other’s company and take in the scenery of River Street in Savannah GA.
We had an awesome meal at The River House Seafood & Bakery, by the way. I’m looking forward to another date night with my husband!
