DATE NIGHT!!!!!  I feel as though I haven't seen Scott in weeks and weeks and in reality I really haven't.  We've gone out a couple times in the past few weeks but those two times are really the only times we've been able to sit and talk.  Scott leaves for work at 5:30am and gets home around 4 and then either I'm off, we have play dates or he has commitments.  Welcome to life, right? 
We find it so important to us and our relationship to go out and spend that time with each other as a couple, even if it is for only a few hours.  We often opt not to just go to the movies but we'll just go downtown and grab a drink and TALK!  Catch up with each other, tell stories and laugh.  Laughing is life, laughing is positive energy, laughing is everything!  Life, in general, is so busy.  There's always a zillion things to do and if we don't put aside this time for 'us' then there wouldn't be an 'us'.  There would be 2 people, 2 separate people who have grown into their complete own, no 'us'.  Too many times we go to a restaurant and see couples sitting there for an ENTIRE meal and don't even say ANYTHING to each other.  It breaks my heart.  I don't know their story or their life, but it doesn't look fun.  I always want to have conversation and focusing too much on everything around us and our tasks in the present we will end up there.  We will end up in that lonely place, as two people that don't know each other, two people that have nothing in common and two people who lost touch with each other long ago.   Preventing this from happening is what date night is all about. 

CHEERS TO OUR RELATIONSHIP...
