When Anthony and I met dating him consisted of going downtown with a bunch of friends and drinking. It really wasn’t dating at all.
After Benson was born dating evolved into dinner dates without kids because with kids usually resulted in arguing over who was going to change the poopy diaper or console the crying baby. One of us always ended up not eating.
This is just real life folks, maybe we didn’t handle it well, but that’s really what it was like.
I began feeling like we had no real experiences together and dating is imperative to keeping a relationship fresh, and the spark alive. When all the chaos of life gets in the way I need to know that the man standing next to me is in it with me, and there are good times through the messy.
Our best friends birthday was coming up so we decided to have a couples night with a few couples and try our hand at paint n sip in Boise.
Yay!! Our first date night experience as a married couple!!
We laughed at each other’s artistic skills, sipped some wine, and celebrated our sweet friend throughout the evening. It was a one hour class, and after the class we headed to Big Al’s for some competitive bowling. I won.
Okay. I won the first game. But I killed it!! The second game I didn’t even break 100 But it was such a good time. I love coming home with a belly ache from all the laughs, new experiences, and memories to last a lifetime.
So if you’re out there thinking to yourself that there’s a disconnect with your hubby, or you’re feeling like the relationship only involves the bar, poopy diapers and babies, or you just want to experience a fun date I challenge you to break out of your comfort zone, find a sitter, and get connected!
