have more fun with my husband

My husband and I are shipping the kids off to Grandma’s for a week! We are getting a B&B for the weekend, and then looking forward to a week at home by ourselves. I can’t believe that we can actually go out to dinner and a movie, during the week without a babysitter! I am feeling quite giddy about the prospect.

With two children, it is hard to keep the connection between couples… we constantly feel as if we need to divide and conquer and then never see each other it seems. We used to play together, and just don’t have time right now to do that.
This week, we started a new workout that we can do together for an hour in the morning before the children get up. It not only is good for us, but we are connecting and having discussions about it. It feels really good. It is not easy to get up that early in the morning, but well worth it!

My husband and I work so hard to keep our family’s needs met, and we never get out anymore to have fun. We very rarely get out as a couple. I think I would like to have at least one night per month where we can get out of the house as a couple, even if it is just to see a movie and grab a bite to eat. Just as long as we can spend some time together. He’s an awesome catch and I want to make sure he always knows just how much I appreciate him and all he does for our family.
