Last night N and I had our first "official" date night since Milo was born. I say "official" because we've been out without him twice, once to a wedding and once to an awards dinner but those weren't really considered dates. At least not in my book. So we got all gussied up:
and took the little man off to have a play date with his friend Izzy (whose parents have agreed to swap one night a month with us so we can each have one date night per month). This is what went on while we were gone...
Some hand holding (and later some crying by both babies) but they did OK and our little guy was glad to see his Mama when we got there (and I'm not gonna lie - I loved that part!). And we had a good dinner (even though it wasn't the one we planned) and a nice talk (that did include talking about our little guy but also other things). I'm already looking forward to next month's date night. This is one way that I can work towards my goal of living with purpose this year - I am being intentional to invest time into my relationship with my husband. 
thats a really great idea! i will have to remember that one someday :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for encouraging me to live with Purpose! I'm inspired to do better with that thanks to you!!
ReplyDelete>>>A friend of mine has a blog you might like. She started leading a prayer group Jan 1st and posts a verse/topic each week. I have been participating and have really enjoyed it. If you are interested, her blog is thepoefam.blogspot.com. Click the link "Praying God's Word". If I remember corrrectly, her youngest son is very close in age to Milo.
Thanks for the link Miranda! I just went and checked that out - love it! And her youngest is just four days older than Milo so yes, VERY close in age! :)
