Date Night

Bryan & I try hard to have a date night each week. It doesn't always happen, but we do try. A lot of times we are out of town traveling or we get busy with holidays, birthday, celebrations, etc. Sometimes we go to dinner & a movie or sometimes we have a commitment that one of us signed us up for. Sometimes we just run errands because we can get so much more done without Sadie tagging along! As much as we miss her, I know it's healthy for our relationship to spend time without her. My favorite saying right now is "The best gift you can give your children is a happy marriage" & that is my new motto! Thank goodness we have family in town & a couple of great babysitters that live near by.

 

Last week, we had our date night scheduled for Friday night. That afternoon while Sadie was sleeping, the doorbell rang & I was pleasantly surprised:

 

 

Bryan sent me flowers just to say that he was excited to spend time with me that night. I felt like a school girl again - just like when we first met 10 years ago! I know I normally blog about our daily adventures with Sadie Kate, but I wanted to take a moment to say what a wonderful husband I have. Not only is he a great husband & father, but he is my best friend. I look forward to our dates every week - especially when we go get frozen custard at the Double Dip :)

 

 

Yes, this is a flashback - this picture was taken the first year we were married. In some ways I think we look the same, but at the same time I think we look a lot younger! I am embarrassed to say that both of us own the those same shirts & we still wear them to this day - 9 years later!!
