I don’t know about you, but with having a toddler and a baby on the way, date nights with my hubby have kind of become a thing of the past! Add in the limitation of finances (after paying for a sitter, we wouldn’t have any left to spend on the date!), and you can understand why it’s been a while since our last “real date.”

Tad and I talked about this goal together, and we decided that we will try and plan one at-home (or away from home, on the rare occasion that it works out) date night per month. Thursdays are a good night for us since we don’t have any church services, Bible studies, or youth events (usually) going on that night of the week.
We decided that we will alternate planning the date night, which will include cooking a meal and deciding on a game or activity. Vera goes to bed at 7pm, so we’ll just start our “date” after we tuck her in bed. We’re really looking forward to spending quality time together! We’re hoping to work in January and February’s date nights before Baby Mango arrives.
