Date night

As soon as I got home from work tonight Joe and I headed out for a "date night".  I'd spent last weekend in Dallas, Texas for work, and Joe's work schedule has him working nights lately so a little Q.T. together was long overdue.  And, since we're living with the 'rents right now it was nice to get alone, away-from-the-house time that we needed. 

Tonight "date night" meant a cozy dinner for two and movie in bed (since our couch is in storage), but some of the other ideas we had included trip to the ice cream shop which sells locally produced treats, a walk around a nearby pond, or wine by the pool.  All of these ideas sounded wonderful to me, but since I was starving by the time I got home, dinner definitely won!  

It was so nice to flirt with Joe from across the table, hold hands, giggle and share our dinners. It's too easy to get lost in the day-to- day business and stress we all encounter, but we left all of that at home for the night and our date was just what the doctor ordered. I can't wait to marry that guy and play footsy under the table for the rest of our lives.
