Date Night

Zak and I decided we were well overdo for a date night so we called the grandparents to see if they were available. Originally, we had planned to go have a nice dinner and walk around Chapel Hill for a change of scenery but because the weather was going to be terrible, we quickly moved to plan B.

We called one of my favorite restaurants, Cafe Luna and made reservations for 6:00pm. We were dropping Will off at Mom and Dad's at 3:30 so we definitely had some time to kill. The convention center just happened to be having some home show expo so we thought, hey that can't be so bad. Oh were we wrong. It was the equivalent of meeting all the vendors of Home Depot: roofers, siding guys, hot tubs and decks. Booooring! We were in and out within 10 minutes and decided to venture around the Marriott that connects to the new convention center.

We picked up some Starbucks (peppermint hot chocolate and caramel apple sider seeing as we are NOT coffee drinkers) and sat and talked and laughed....uninterrupted by a toddler!

It. Was. Heaven.

We took some goofy pictures with our phones and then headed to a delicious dinner with no interruptions! It was that night we decided we would make date night once a month a priority and we would alternate planning what we would do.

In the hustle and bustle of parenthood it is so easy to lose sight of the importance of connecting with nights like these. So from me to you, go ahead, pick up the phone and get a date night on the calendar! You'll be so thankful you did!
