Date Night

The Allens

Last night was our date night.  My husband and I have been married 13 years and we know more than ever just how important it is to get away from the drudgery of the house and kids and just spend time together having fun.  We had the sitter all lined up, the kids knew the drill—we even had the movie and restaurant picked out.  After the weekend of cleaning the yard, planting flowers, trimming trees, and assembling a hammock, my husband lovingly looked into my eyes and said “if you are too tired, we can just rent a movie and eat doughnuts”.  He knows me.  I love that he knows me. 

The point is, it is just good to spend time with the people we love.  Spending time laughing--even better!  Date night with donuts and a rented movie was the most enjoyable evening of my month.  Thanks, Babe!
