life with two sets of twins
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.
We decided on taking an adults only trip to Universal Studios Orlando. We planned this vacation on New Years Day 2018, so it has been a LONG year of waiting for it to finally arrive. Our main focus was Halloween Horror Nights, which is the largest Halloween event in the U.S. but obviously wanted to go to the parks too. My parents had never been to Orlando – it was fun seeing everything through their eyes! We had such a fun time but I was definitely ready to get home to my kids after six days!!
“Date-iversary”… I know what you’re thinking, is that even a thing? Well it is for us! My husband and I have been married two years but have been together for eight years. I hate when people ask how long we’ve been married – they probably think we are newbies at this. I’m not discrediting those extra six years because they were some of the best!
