Day Date with Preppy

At one of my bridal showers each lady wrote down their own Words of Wisdom on marriage. Some of them I remember, others I should probably re-read. One that has always stuck out to me was by my Aunt Debbie, "Remember to have Date Nights, especially after you have kids".

Sounds easy enough, right? Mike and I sure thought it would be easy to make romantic time for the two of us after Jack was born, I mean we had free babysitters right down the street! Well then we moved and the cost of a date night significantly increased. Sure my parents come to visit quite often, and we could go then, but we want to hang out with them at night! We figure we spend a lot of time just the two of us after Jack goes to sleep. As good as our intentions are though we usually end up getting wrapped up into our own worlds (sports, blogs, work, emails, online shopping, chores, ect.) and we end up not giving each other the quality attention the other deserves. Sounds like this should be a New Years Resolution!

Anyways, Saturday we did make time just for the two of us. We headed downtown Naples ate at one of our favorite spots Bellini's, walked around, talked, shopped, and held hands. It was just what we needed.
