Happy two month + one day!
Some good advice that Heather, our pastor’s wife, told me during pre-marital counseling was, “You need to work on being on the marriage train, even if it means that the wedding train has to stop.” At that point during our engagement, it seemed impossible that all the wedding plans could just stop. As if I didn’t have a choice anymore. It’d be terribly embarrassing to have to postpone the wedding or even call it off after all the invitations had been sent out.
I remember all the days that passed where all our conversations and plans revolved around the wedding and none on building our marriage. The busyness was starting to destroy our relationship, and we needed to make changes. We needed to date again. We needed to have conversations about just us again. So we did. It’s funny how you can always see more clearly in hindsight. How we live our everyday is a choice, and no matter the circumstances… no matter how crazy wedding planning is… no matter how busy everything else is, we should to make the effort to choose each other.
This was two Thursdays ago. We went to Pure for dinner, then All Fired Up to paint some pottery. I had been wanting to go with the girls, but Jacob decided to take me. Things I’m excited about:
- Moulin Rouge Ballet will be here Oct 22-31. Hopefully, I’ll get the chance to go. Hint hint. Anyone else going?
- Frightfest is coming up. Haven’t been to six flags in a while.
- FALL. The leaves are starting to turn! Soon we can go to North GA to see the foliage.
- Trying my next crock pot recipe. Everything that has come out of that pot has been so yummy!
- Going swing dancing. We learned how to tango for our first dance, but there’s not too much social tango-ing.
What do you guys do for date night? Would love to hear some suggestions. We’re doing date night every other Thursday, and tonight I decide what we’re doing.
