Date Night

This post is going to be rather short and not so involved, as I am finding myself in the early start of a migraine. Unfortunately, I suffer from these quite often. Before you say anything, I do proactively treat these monster headaches with Botox. And let me tell you how life changing Botox can be for aomeone who suffers from this debilitating diagnosis. However I recently started a new job and find myself in the midst of insurance purgatory. COBRA is darn expensive. So I wait it out.

I was able to go on our weekly date night with my love. And I cannot express enough how important this is to the life of our relationship. And it’s just as important for our children to see us do this and to keep strict schedule with it. If we miss a week, it becomes easy to miss two and you get the picture. It would be so easy to fill in this time with chores or mindless TV watching or just about anything else. But for a simple few hours or so a week, we turn off the phones, are without offspring distraction and it’s just us and conversation. Sometimes it’s about absolutely nothing important and other times we stockpile critical conversation to share during this time. Either way, we dedicate this time to each other and it is priority. We have never had to ask to cancel nor wanted to.  Sometimes we try new date night adventures. I doubt my love ever would have signed up to have reflexology all on his own and I never dreamed of going on an archery outing. But we have gone out on a limb to try these things for each other and loved our time together.

So for those who don’t have a designated date night/schedule, I would ask you this? What are you waiting for? Go for it and have fun! I promise!!
