Date Nights

I absolutely LOVE date nights! Unfortunately, with Josh being incredibly swamped with finals and their prep, we really haven’t had a lot of time to just be together.

So tonight my patience is going to pay off. We have reservations at a cute little Italian restaurant and plans to just dine. Order a glass of wine, enjoy some appetizers, and then the main course whenever we feel like it. We are going to be in no hurry and just take the time to enjoy each other’s company.

Date nights are such a critical part of a relationship; however, they are also the easiest things to push to the side.

When we were dating Josh and I didn’t spend a lot of money or time going places or doing new things regularly because the end goal for us was always to get married. (Don’t get me wrong, we had a great time while we were dating, we just weren’t frivolous). And once we got engaged, those dates became even more far and few between.

After we got married though things picked up. We were really good at having a date night once a week and making sure that we didn’t get caught up in taking care of “life:” bills, work, etc. We enjoyed day trips all around Northern WI and visit local hang outs. It was so much trying out new places and stumbling upon ones of our own.

Then we moved again and the semester kind of took over. With that we lost our routine of date nights.

I am so excited for tonight’s date and cannot wait for the quality time with my husband. Hopefully, now that things have slowed down we can get back to making these dates a priority.
