John & I have almost never missed a date night in our 13 years together. We make it a priority over all other things to ensure we get our quality time together. With Maya coming in to the picture, we were both unsure as to how we could manage this.
Yesterday, our first date night since coming back home, was a great start! We spent the afternoon walking the neighbourhood, with Maya in the stroller, shopping for an assortment of groceries, wines & cheeses. Once Maya was fed, changed & put to bed for the night, we made plates of veggies & dip; several cheeses; olive tapande on crackers; Baklava for dessert; and 2 mini bottles of wine. We put on warm clothes, set up the portable stereo & candles and had a great picnic on the back deck where we sat and talked for several hours.
This was a great date night!
Nice! You're right to keep having your date nights...my sister and brother and law had their Saturday night dates all through raising 3 kids and it kept the relationship strong.
