"Saturday Daylight Date" Tradition


Oh how I love my husband! He is so sweet and so good to me! We've had a "Saturday Daylight Date" tradition for a little while and I was SO THRILLED that it has carried into our married life thanks to my dear sweetheart and his romantic self! You see, he works swing shifts and the way the schedule is he works 2 weekends straight and then off 2 weekends straight. Since his weekends off are filled with family things with all the kids and doing things they enjoy doing Joey decided a while back that since I generally work week days and it'd be fun to have a weekend date sometimes alone that the weekend he is working day shift we'd reserve that Saturday for our date night. (We have lots of dates but this one is a scheduled date night out someplace.) This past Saturday was the first Saturday of daylight shift and I was thrilled that this meant just as much to Joseph as it did to me. We enjoyed a relaxing date to Olive Garden this past Saturday night and has such a great time. Even after a long drive from Virginia earlier in the day for me and a 12-hour work day for Joseph beforehand - the date was absolutely perfect. Joseph, I love you so much - you are simply amazing.

What a guy! It's so hard to keep that core relationship central in our lives when we're all in the middle of so many other activities and networks. Sometimes I have to gently chide my sweet husband and remind him that I'm the one he's going to grow old with and that consequently we need to keep working on keeping our marriage fresh and vital.
