So today was the first Date Hubby and I have had in months. Since the Teenager started college it is so difficult to have any time that is just for us because we don’t readily leave our Kiddies with anyone and life is just a bit crazy at times. Yet today we had one! It may not have been at date night but for me I say Yay for dates whether they happen in the day or night as long as they happen.
The first thing we did was head to our favorite late breakfast spot IHOP… why? Because they serve breakfast all day of course! We had our plates full and the conversation was flowing. It has been so long since we had a chance to talk – really talk – without a call to rescue, discipline or simply listen to some little person’s woes.
After breakfast we headed over to get the Hubby’s truck inspected. I know it may not seem like an ideal date time activity but honestly just being together was awesome and we spend the 20 minute wait chatting about what movie we wanted to see once we were done.
We decided to check out one of the movies I’ve been drooling over for a bit now and headed to get our tickets for Dracula The Untold Story. After getting our tickets, popcorn, nachos and drink we settled in to the lunch seats (it was our first time at a new theater and definitely not our last) and got ready to watch.
I was not disappointed by the movie and love the new twist to the story of Dracula which just happen to be one of our favorites. Even though our date day was not too long it was just the right amount of ‘us’ time we were in need of to reconnect and refresh our spark a bit.
Focusing on life alone is never a good recipe for a marriage. You must ALWAYS take the time, day or night, to make a date with you mate priority. I know I always will 🙂
Here are a few pics of my Date Day/Night look taken by the Hubby who can always capture my ‘good’ side LOL

Hi Tiffany it is so fun whenever you get a chance to have a date with the hubby. As busy moms we have to take whatever we can get. No matter what time of the day it is or what we are doing. The important part is you had fun. You look so cute in your date outfit. I want a pair of those camo pants. I have a skirt but no pants. Have a great weekend! ~Sherri
Hi Sherri! It really is! I love our bit of ‘us time’ Thanks so much…have an amazing weekend and thanks for hosting 😀
Of course, I am back to comment again about your outfit!! I really have been on the search for the perfect pair of camo jeans, I love yours! They look great on you! The simple white tee with the denim jacket is so classic with them, too! I also want your boots!! You are def. looking great for your hubby date day!

Thanks Carrie!! I actually found those at ….drum roll please… Wal*Mart !! They fit great and made it through a wash already (which I honestly didn’t expect) 😉 The boots I’ve had for nearly our entire marriage so 10+ years!! I got them back in New York. Thank you so much 😀
Great denim jacket! Date nights are few and far between here, but I did manage to sneak in a movie at home with just hubby last Friday night when the boys were at their grandparent's house.

Thank You!!! A great denim jacket is a must have I think. Oh yes they definitely are but when you can get one enjoy it 🙂 this was our first ‘going out’ date in a while but we totally love movie nights at home. They rock!!
Glad you were able to get in a date night! They are hard to come by once there are kids in the picture.
