Date night

The other night Gaetan and I got to go on a date.  We just went out to eat, but it was nice to have some time alone with each other.  It was strange not having at least one of the kids with us, but it was a nice change of pace.  I actually got to eat my food as soon as it came out :)  It was also really nice just to be able to catch up with what's been going on with each other.  I know that we see each other everyday and we do talk, but this was nice to be able to focus just on him.  See how things are going at school, and what sorts of things he's really excited about in school.

It was also nice spending time with him alone, because, sometimes I worry that we won't remember how to date each other.  Being so busy with the two kids all the time I want to make sure that we can still 'date' and that we still like spending time with each other.  Of course, our kids are wonderful and we love spending time with them, but they will grow up and then it will just be us again.  And I want to make sure that we still love each other's company.

And we do.  :)

Its these little moments amidst all the crazy busy times its reassuring to know that I am the luckiest girl alive and I am reminded of all the little things that make him the love of my life.
