A much needed weekend.

The weekend was great. Steve and I got to enjoy a night out. We haven't gone out in what seems like forever and you forget just how important it is to spend quality time alone.

I have so much fun with hubs. Sometimes I forget what it's like to have grown-up time. Let me paint you a picture of our night out. We arrive at our favorite restaurant here, we get out of the car and I actually have a hand available for him to hold. It's not holding a little Bean or a diaper bag or anything else baby related- nope it's free- free to be held by my best friend. It's funny how such a small thing makes such a big difference to me. I love holding hands. We sit down and eat- without rushing. We don't have to worry about spills, or messes, or wandering hands that ache to knock over that glass of water- nope just the two of us. The two of us actually addressing eachother by our first names. Because you know that when Miss O is around he is Daddy and I am Mommy. Sometimes I laugh at how many times I call my own husband "Dada". We talk about so many things and I end up laughing so hard that I'm crying. Oh that is such a wonderful feeling- pure laughter. We get to go do a little shopping after with just the two of us and it's wonderful. A simple night, but perfect.

And then we picked up the bean, who had a hard night and I embraced her and all felt right with that too. A perfect balance- a date night out- then reunited with the girl of our dreams.

I feel so strongly about Date nights than I ever did before I had a child. It's my time to spend quality time with my eternal companion. Oh how I love him.

Not Sure why this came out blurry...hmmmm It's not blurry on my computer?!

The rest of the weekend was spent cleaning, attending the pinewood derby, going to church, and skyping with best friends all the way in China!!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well!
