Moving and squeezing
in meaningful dates can be a bit of a challenge, but we did our best to make
February a month of purposeful dating. I wanted to share what we did, even
though some may have been a bit on the unconventional side!
Our first date
was our monthiversary, on the 2nd, when we redid our January
Monthiversary date. We enjoyed cocoa bombs made by our friend Jenna, watched episodes
of Without a Trace, and did a workout together. The night was about celebrating
our favorite things together and recognizing how far we had come in a month of our
new exercise routine!
Our second date
was a trip to our church youth group’s fundraiser dinner! They did a Valentine’s
Day Italian dinner, and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The food was
scrumptious, and we turned our night into a double date with a couple from our Sunday
School class who sat at the same table with us.
Our third date
was Valentine’s Day itself! We chose to cook dinner at home together – another favorite
of ours – and we through some sparkling grape juice into the mix. I have enjoyed each of the (now eleven) Valentine’s
Day celebrations we’ve had, and this year was no different.
Our fourth date
didn’t really feel so much like a date, but it still counted. We had to travel
to Indianapolis for a funeral, so while we were in the city, we took time to
enjoy Chick-Fil-A for lunch and ran (kind of literally) through IKEA just to look around before
returning home. It wasn’t a leisurely day at all, but it was a chance to spend some
time together in some of our favorite places. We also enjoyed fantastic
conversation in the car to and from our destination!
Perhaps March
will be a little bit more conventional in the dating scheme, but I am grateful
for each of these opportunities to enjoy food, conversation, and celebration!
