“Sometimes his mother felt like she was in a zoo!”
When Aaron get’s home each day we have a quick smooch and exchange the typical “how was you day?” and then it’s go, go, go! Lately it feel’s like we are partners in a tag team match against our boys rather than a married couple enjoying family time. We pass the kids back in forth taking turns with diapers, play time, bath time, feeding, ect. And last week I was DONE!
I called up Lyndz and arranged for her to watch the boys (something she is always offering to do! What a great aunt and amazing sister-in-law, thanks a million) on Friday night so I could surprise Aaron with a date night. We have basically no money but this was not about fancy food or extravagant outings, this was a night to hang out and reconnect.
We spent the evening in downtown Portland walking the streets and taking in all the sights. We haven’t really explored down there since moving here and what better way to catch up than a nice relaxing walk.
Later we grabbed a bite to eat and then wandered through Barns and Noble, one of our favorite thing to do before becoming parents. We both still love books and reading we just never have the time to wander aimlessly around the book stores anymore, I wonder why!?! Lol. We were only gone from 5:00 to 9:00 but it was just what we needed. I couldn’t ask for a better husband, Aaron has always been my biggest supporter and the best friend I have ever had. I love him more now than I ever have before, (if that is even possible!?!) Thanks for a great night Poy, Love you!

Sometimes the best dates are the ones when you don't spend any money. It is so nice just to BE together!
That's awesome that you could get out and have some time just for yourselves!
The foundation of the family is the husband and wife and you need to take the time to continually nurture that relationship - of course I say this but do Jeff and I ever take the time to go on dates...no! But we need to :)
I'm so glad to hear that you had a chance to go out on a date. Those can be few and far between with two small boys. But it's so important to do. I'm so glad you have family and friends there to help and support you - what a blessing.
