While I am on the subject of romance


I wanted to mention these very cute valentines day e-cards on Egreetings.com. Not only can eCards be a lot more fun than traditional paper cards, they are also less expensive. They are either free, very inexpensive, or for a small monthly/yearly fee.
The free funny eCards on Egreetings.com are fun, funny, or risque. They have a large assortment of Valentines day cards, Birthday cards, Thank-You’s, Get Wells, and anything else you can think of. Some cards are animated, some have music, and all eCards can be personalized with a message or a picture.
If you sign up for a free 30 day membership you can send unlimited eCards during your trial. If you chose to keep the membership, you only pay $13.99 a year. My favorite benefit of a subscription is you can schedule the date on which your card gets sent, so you can make them ahead of time and have them delivered when you want. You will never miss another birthday or holiday again! Come on now, who can resist cupid??

Date Night, again!


Well after last date night was such a success, we accepted our friends invitation to join them for dinner & a show.

Last night we ate dinner at Musashi’s; our local Japanese Steakhouse. Then we headed up north to the Air Force Academy to watch Bill Engvall… let me tell you, that man is hilarious! I have not laughed like that since Josh Blue.

Date night was a roaring success. Bobby and I got to get all dressed up, since I did not have anything to wear, Bobby took me shopping first and got me 2 new bras, 2 new shirts, a new half sweater, a pair of jeans and a pair of Capri pants. We also got him a pair of really nice dress shoes for work, his feet have been hurting him in his old shoes. Then we went to get him a nice button-up shirt and a sweater. I chose the shirts and I have to brag and say I did good… he looked fabulous in the shirts, they are both blue and really brought out his eyes.

I am really loving this date night thing… I think we will try to make this a habit.



Alone time is good for the soul.


….and the marriage.

Lately Bobby and I have been trying to make a habit of date night. You can read all about last night’s date night on my other blog, but we have been trying to do dinner and a show of some sort. This really helps us connect as a couple; we have really needed this time together, especially since we have not really had alone time since Matthew was born.

Date night is important for couples with children because they often get caught up with work, children, and the daily routines that do not involve connecting as a couple. When you make time for each other and spend one on one time together, without the kids you can get that time back together and insure that you don’t grow apart. If we had a babysitter, I would like to have one night each week; but instead we try to do a date night at home when we can’t go out.

Do a Google search for “importance of date night” and you will find great ideas of things to do, why date night is important, and other ways for couples to reconnect.
