The Importance of Date Night

We forgot! We forgot how much we liked each other's company! I guess it is one of those things that creeps up on you as you settle into the routine of life with a toddler.
Ruthie went to grandma and grandpa Walsh's house Friday and Saturday and we found ourselves with the rare opportunity to spend some time just us. Friday after work we headed downtown Iowa City and had a fun time going to a couple different places for appetizers and drinks.
Then when we got home we started a movie but stopped it to instead talk for a few hours. Saturday we went our separate ways (me to a gardening expo with mom and Mike to meet clients out of town for work) for the day then met up again to enjoy a nice meal together. It was restaurant week in Cedar Rapids so that was fun to check out.
This weekend was a reminder to me that just like gardening you have to constantly care for and tend to your marriage or the weeds can take over.
