I mentioned in a previous post one our secrets to a long and happy marriage. Here it is again... You should never stop dating your spouse. With all the pressures of work, raising a family and the tribulations of everyday life, taking time together as a married couple is crucial. Tami and I adhere to this practice. We call it "Date Night". It almost always happens on Friday night. We often go out to eat, but not always. Sometimes we rent a movie or just stay home and watch TV. We've been known to take a drive as well. Although with the price of gas, we don't do that much anymore. We have even taken a trip to that exciting place called the grocery store. Whatever it happens to be, we just enjoy each others company, take time to talk about the past week and reconnect. Our relatives even know not to call on Date Night. That's our time. They know to leave a message and we'll get back to them... tomorrow.
Tonight was no different. We went out for a quick bite to eat and talked about our new favorite topic. Sveta Grace Morton. We talked about the homecoming at the airport, her upcoming birthday and our plans and dreams for her time with us in the future. On date nights past we often discussed our own kids, but tonight Michael, Abby, Jessi and Barry took a backseat to little Miss Sveta. Anybody walking by our table at the restaurant was probably wondering why we were grinning from ear to ear. And if they would have asked, you better believe I'd have been happy to tell them.
