Do we need an excuse to go on another date?

As newlyweds (6.5 months is still newlywed, right?) my husband and I have been striving to establish a very solid date night. Something so solid that we will continue it in the midst of the crazy madness that is parenting when we get to that point.

That is our goal.

When we came up with this goal, I thought to myself

This is going to be cake.

Every night is practically date night as it is,

so this is just going to be an easy way

to get his attention for the evening

and do something together.

And so our "family goal" commenced.

Fast forward to the third week. Rearrange the scheduled Friday night date to Thursday night due to crowds at the restaurant we wanted to hit. Friday night shopping-trip-to-the-mall date. Saturday night group date with my parents/John to get root beer floats. Monday night, go get a movie and treat.

And naturally, I thought to myself

It's kind of funny that

anytime we go anywhere

we call it a date.

Other people included or not.

And since we are on a roll here, I think I will keep going with it. We stay in too much as it is. And there are things we need to accomplish

List of ideas for future reference:

Go to the temple date
Go to the library date
Go to the pet store for kitty litter date
Go grocery shopping date
Go clean the office date
Go buy paint at Home Depot and paint the guest room....date

As long as I include some form of a treat, he shouldn't notice, right???
