The other day, we went to the Rotary Auction dinner something, with our good friends the Cahoons. While we were there, Cheryls mom pointed out that because we had been married for over 2 years, we need to go on at least 3 dates this year. And then it keeps going up, the more years we are married.
At first I thought it was silly, because we have already gone on way more than 3 dates and its only February. But then again, it must be harder to do when you have children. Right now, basically anything we do could be considered a date. Which I actually enjoy a lot.
I have decided to take part in this challenge. I'm sure it will be harder throughout the years, so I am hoping to make it a type of habit. If we can do this while we are alone, maybe it will be easier to keep it up when we have little ones (if we have little ones?).
I am blogging this at work today, BECAUSE IT IS SO SLOW!! And I am soo bored. I need a new job... But when I get home I am going to try to put the picture we took while at the Rotary Dinner. It was such a fun night. And I was even able to get Geoff to dance with me for a couple of songs. He is an excellent dancer, and it was so fun to just get out there and cut a rug. Afterthe dinner, we went to Jess' parents that live in Raymond, played games, watched a movie, and had a sleepover! They also spoiled us with a delicious breakfast the next day! It was wonderful.
Oh, and the night before we had a slumber party at our baby apartment for the girls. It was such an awesome night. There were 10 of us there, which I was worried about since our apartment is so little. But it actually turned out really well! We pampered ourselves with avocado face masks and gross strawberry exfoliant, played some games, and watched a movie. It was wonderful. But we didn't get to sleep until about 400am. So when we went to the Rotary Dinner the next day, we were all pretty tuckered. I have had to spend the last couple of days recuperating, but it was totally worth it!!
Okay... my work day is almost done, so I better finish off or I'll lose it all.

We are so lucky to have my sister. She calls every two weeks or so and asks if she can watch the kids. With two boys we NEVER say no. Otherwise it would be terrible. Usually when she calls we cannot run out the door fast enough.
So yes! Learn to date now! Then it will be a continual habit to carry with you when you have kids!
I wanna do this challenge!!!!! not gonna lie, it is so much harder to do dates when you have a lil one. Finding a babysitter... ya not so fun. BUT it is for sure worth the effort when we are out and not having to be responsible parents! hahaha.
Ya that girls night was soooooo fun! I know I didnt get to stay the night...(referring back to the having a baby comment)... I loved it!
Hahaha I love that you wrote this at work. niiiice! I hope no one you work with is on your blog list! hahaha that could be bad.
I agree though... it's good to make a habbit of it now so when you have kids... it wont be put aside :)
