Yep, you read that title correctly. I asked my husband of almost 12 years out on a date. Let me explain.

After a certain amount of time, many of us become complacent in our daily routines. Life in itself can be overwhelming and a huge distraction, am I right? We’re the parents of 2 children and my husband works a lotttt, so to be honest, we’ve gotten into some sort of rut when it comes to taking time out for each other. And with the 2020 new year around the corner, I wanted us to begin to go on monthly dates beginning in January. I even mentioned that our dates would be every 3rd weekend of the month so that our babysitters wouldn’t be caught off guard. But then I started thinking, why wait until January? Why not start this weekend (which happens to be the 3rd weekend of this month)?

It’s the middle of November and our local ice skating rink is opened for the season… so guess what? I texted my husband while he was at work and asked if he would go ice skating with me. His reply “I’d love to.” I have to honestly say that I’m excited! We went ice skating once about 13 years ago and I can pretty much go into this date knowing that laughter will be present. I’m so ready for us to get back to the core basics of our marriage and invest in US. Can’t wait to tell you all about it!

Have a blessed weekend!
