life with two sets of twins
This month’s “dating my husband” post is pretty special because it wasn’t just a date, it was a TRIP! We decided to cross something off our bucket list and go to Salem, MA in October. If you have never heard of Salem… it is known for its thick history of witches and magic. This is where The Witch Trials took place in 1692 and more recently… where the movie Hocus Pocus was filmed. We planned this trip back in March and I was so excited it was finally time to go!
As many of you already know, or if you’re seeing my blog for the first time… 2018 was a really shit year for me. I struggled with my mental health and towards the end of the year, I found something out that was a HUGE life changing moment for me. Since that moment on Sept 18th, 2018 at 9:30 in the morning (Yep. I know the time because its so engraved in my mind) I have struggled with PTSD in a major way. As time moves forward, it gets easier but it’s still such an ever present force in my life that I deal with EVERY DAY.
You guys have NO idea how excited I was for this date. I realize that I probably sound obsessed (proud groupie over here 馃槈 ) but NF has gotten me through the worst year of my entire life. It’s actually funny that almost EXACTLY a year ago, my life was flipped upside down and last night I was seeing the person who helped me through it.
Do I sound crazy yet?
FYI – music can actually be really therapeutic!
LOVED THIS DATE!
I don’t know what is was exactly but I really enjoyed this one. We decided on going to the drive-in movies. I feel like drive-ins are pretty scarce in most places but we’re lucky enough to live 15 minutes away from one. We used to go all the time but ya know.. kids happened.
Wow, this month flew right by us. Once again we were coming to the end of the month and realized we needed to do date night. DON’T SKIP IT PEOPLE!
Since we were so last minute, babysitters were scarce 聽– which means time to break out our “in-home” date night! It was a good kick-off to Cody’s vacation week!
