When was the last time you had a date night? The other night was awesome! We have had so many changes going on in our lives lately....moving, getting settled, moving again, getting settled, out-of-towner visits (which we LOVE!!!)...so, we can say we've had a lot going on. :) Since we've been married, we've tried to make it a point to have two date nights a week, and if not, at LEAST one. We don't necessarily go "out" like to a movie or dinner and always spend tons of money....let's say we've made it a point to be together on purpose! :) We would either be making dinner together, play a game, watch a movie (again, and again...and I say, again!), taking a walk around the apt. complex (in AZ-which I seriously miss the beautiful pool and fountains, green grassy areas) or streets....anyway, we'd spend time together on purpose.
Since we've moved to Washington, we really haven't had much time to enjoy each other's company, alone. :) We've been really busy. We did make it to Seattle for a quick one night trip to "escape" the madness and make some decisions about our situations and our future....and then shortly thereafter we moved again.....and we've had some family in town, fun times....but we really haven't had "quality" time together. I know, it's wierd. We live together, we see each other every day, we sleep in the same bed......but we haven't "dated".
As we've been getting settled this last time, (it's for good for a while), we have talked a lot about our dreams and plans and desires for our life. We want to be successful in our marriage, in our careers, have a family and our OWN home....we've talked about the stresses (and dealt with the stresses) and I think through all of this, we have quietly made an effort to enjoy each other. I think we have on our own, without discussing it, realized how important "WE" are. I've noticed a change in our communication, a free "upgrade" in our marriage.....We have this non-verbal communication that is taking place in our love life, our marrage, that says "I need you, I love you, I appreciate you!" We are a team and it feels more like a team than ever before! :) We are bonded and are only getting stronger!
This great date night we walked down to the boardwalk. You can see it from our house....and we haven't gone down yet to walk it and really see what's there. The city of Bremerton is really making some changes and has a lot of plans for the future. It's becoming more beautiful every day. We decided yesterday that we want to buy our place that we have now and make it "ours"....so, we'll see in a year what we can do about that! :) They just opened a park this weekend.....it's beautiful! It has water fountains that "dance" or "explode", wading areas, tables for picnics, etc....as we were walking through it we were amazed at how awesome it was and how great the environment was...relaxing and fun. There were families enjoying each other, children giggling...it really felt like I was walking through a scene in a movie.
On our way home, we decided to finally get on our beach! There really isn't a place to get down to it, so we crossed some "NO TRESPASSING" signs next door (condemned house; yeah, lovely I know.) and got down there. We walked along the beach! How cool is that?!!! :) It's not the greatest of beaches...but it's OUR beach! :) hee hee. No more trespassing though. That was pretty questionable. Rotting wood stairs....yeah, I know, no more. :) Anyway, we got home and BBQ'd. We hung out together like it was summer and we were kids. It was great! I'm so glad I have forever to be with my best friend!!!
When was the last time you went on a date and had some extra FUN???!!!

It's been about a month. B and I try to get out once a week. But that doesn't always happen.
Glad you two had a great evening!!!
