So Michael and I have been together for a long time, as in 15 years, and we pretty much have spent every waking minute of those 15 years together except for the only time we were apart when he studied abroad for 4 months. That being said, we have had a lot of dates, incredible trips all around the world, but most importantly a lot of wonderful nights at home. We went through our wild going out side and now we have definitely embraced our homebody spirit. There is nothing better than a home cooked meal with the family, then putting the kids to bed, cracking open a nice bottle of wine and watching a movie at home.
However, we have been told that date night is a must, and I must admit that since we had Kenzie, we really only have been on a handful of dates (all concerts and with other people), but mostly we haven’t really gone out just the two of us. Everyone has scolded us and told us how we have to make ourselves a priority, but honestly we love being with the kiddos and we love being home. I’m not saying we won’t go on a date, we will, sometime, soon. We are just doing things our way, and I have to say I don’t feel any less connected to Michael because we haven’t had an actual date, we have our time and if anything I think all the time we spend as a family has brought us even closer together. And man, seeing Michael with the kids makes me fall deeper in love with him every day, which is remarkable because I love him A WHOLE LOT! I have been in love with this man from the moment I met him, really from the moment I set eyes on him, I knew he was the man for me and that has never changed in 15 years and I can’t wait to celebrate a lifetime more nights snuggled on the couch with my main squeeze, but I promise we will try to get out one of these nights. Maybe we will get out and go see a movie, that could be fun!
How about you? What is your idea of your perfect date night?
