Honeymoon Week

Some of you know that our sons are not with us this week.  (They are with their father, AKA "Fun Dad", at Disney World.  How cliche is that?)  And yes, I do miss them - alot.  A week is a long time not to see them.

However... Mike and I have had quite the stay-cation.  Other than most of the day on his birthday (see last post), we have had a wonderful week.   In fact, I do believe that because of said tiff, we really talked WITH EACH OTHER more than we have in a long time.  This week, we are completely focusing on just the two of us. We aren't shuttling back and forth to baseball and play practice. We are having conversations - with no interruptions.  We sat outside one beautiful night, just looking out at our yard that is beginning to bloom.  We have been on two dates... and are going on date three tonight!

I think we needed this week...

  4. That is so great! So often couples get caught up in the everyday tasks, activities, etc., that a marriage can find itself on the backburner. And sometimes, gets cold. It's always great to regroup, connect and spend quality time together. Enjoy your week!

  8. So glad you've had this week together! It's like the quality is doubled without the interruptions and all the running around. With three kids and their activities, my relationship with my husband gets so out of sorts and disconnected. Hugs!

  9. YAY!!! I am so thrilled for you and a little jealous too. :) You're right...you both need this and need to make it a habit. It's so hard to make a regular routine "date night" or even just "date time." Have a great time tonight. Thinking of you.

    When do the boys get home? I know they are missig you too!

  12. What a wonderful way to enjoy a staycation! Our spring break has been spent on the road for the most part- was at home today, but off again tomorrow. The week will be over before I know it.

  16. That is so great that you two are reconnecting. I sometimes (shh...don't tell) miss the days before babies when husband and I had eachother all to ourselves. But children brighten a room like no other, so you'll be happy when they get home too!

  19. My family and I really enjoyed visiting the store and meeting you today. It is fun to meet someone you feel like you already know. Would have loved to meet the boys. Ev and MW were so impressed to meet someone we see on the computer. The store has lots of cute merchandise. I was so glad to find a store carrying such cute invitations. Several of my old favorites have closed. As soon as we sat down for dinner I called another friend and told her I found somewhere to purchase invites. My friends and I definitely need to plan a girl's day out in Aiken- they would love the store.

  20. I loved every minute of bringing up our kids but now, almost two years into being empty nesters, my husband and I often marvel at how we're beginning to "find ourselves" again. We're starting to get involved again in things we put in the back burner while we were driving to practices, games, school events, and so forth with the children. I know you did miss the boys but good for you for taking some "us time."
