Valentine’s Day

by Leave a Comment

This year on Valentines Day it was a little different because Valentine was in school. Bummer. I have a feeling when she is in elementary and before she is in High School with a boyfriend, that I will convince David to take her out of school for their annual date. It's been almost a week and we still haven't performed our traditions. Maybe next week?
What we did do, however, was go to my parents house for a family dinner. It was perfect. My mom made steaks and we hung out. Charlie and Alissa brought my 2.5 week old nephew, over. My kids were running around having a great time and wishing their cousin Landy (I coined a nickname? perhaps?)was there.
I couldn't have asked for a better day 🙂
 

 

26 Dates in 1 Year…

by 1 Comment

Sounds easy right? Well let's just say in the past few years David and I have been so busy with our precious kiddos that we haven't made time for dating each other. One of the many luxuries of having small kids right 😉 Well this year our resolution was 26 dates. One every two weeks. Each of us got to write out 13 ideas and put them in a jar. Then at the beginning of date week we will draw them!

Date #1 – We already had an amazing babysitter for when we went to Lifegroup so we decided to hit the town for a reservation at 9! Not all of our dates have a special significance, but Johnny Carinos does. In college, this is where we would go for a lot of our fancy dates! Well, go there or get it to go. David always gets chicken parm, I eat his side salad, we chow down on the most delicious bread and garlic, all while sharing a bottle of wine. <3
