life with two sets of twins
Welcome back to another date night blog! This month our date changed weekly – the days we chose wouldn’t work out for some reason or another. I thought we would end up skipping an April date but then I told Cody, NO we need to make time to get out of the house without kids NO. MATTER. WHAT.
So we did.
I’m sitting here watching Trolls, literally reciting LINE FOR LINE because I’ve watched it every day for the past eleven years (or so it feels) and listening to my husband snore on the couch. Mom life is the best life – haha! I’m feeling happy and blessed, so I thought I’d write this post right now and share my fun day.
Welcome to date number two of twelve! If you didn’t read my last “dating my husband” blog – you should! It will explain a little more about why I’m writing these blog posts.
Ever since we booked this February date, I’ve been looking forward to it! Knowing we have that designated night we can be kid free and ALONE is the best ever! I don’t know why we didn’t do this all the previous years of our relationship. It’s a must!
This year we wanted to change some things in our relationship. We were stuck in a rut. We were roommates, not husband and wife. Our life revolved around taking care of the kids and work. Our marriage took the backseat to everything. We were arguing more and more often and not enjoying our time together. I believe that we were at the crossroads… we were either going to fix what was wrong or end the relationship.

One thing I’ve learned about myself from 2018 is that I’m a goal setter and planner. I thrive when I have a list, my planner and what I want to achieve written down. I lost 22 pounds last year, hit many milestones in my blogging and vlogging career, and really discovered who I was. I believe I owe all that to planning, as crazy as it sounds. I thought of what I wanted and I went after it. It seems like a simple thought but if you’re not willing to put the work in, nothing is going to change. I want to carry this motivation into 2019 but make it even more intentional.
