On: Date Night...

We are blessed with very full weeks.

At a time when some people are struggling to find work, or pay their bills, Jon is studying to become a doctor and I am working for an office that does helpful work and gives me free cookies once a week... Sometimes I forget how fantastic our situation is--usually when the hours start to feel too long, or when Jon has to study late. Admittedly, we aren't those people that have to schedule time to see each other, but the work/school week can take up a lot of our time.

At the end of each week, however, lies a beacon of hope: Date Night. I can rest assured that every Friday or Saturday night, Jon and I will go out and do something that is related to neither work, nor school. Sometimes it's as simple as grocery shopping. Sometimes it's renting a movie. Sometimes it's swinging by the book store to drink tea and read about hormonal imbalances, the economy, planning for a successful retirement, Dante's Inferno, and the best hair cuts for people with oval-shaped faces all in one sitting. Sometimes it's ice-cream. The point of date night is just to go out, have a good time, and re-charge with some quality face time. We love the Date Night.

Recently, Jon surprised me with symphony tickets--Schumann Date Night. What an incredible evening:) Lovely dinner, Peer Gynt, followed by 8+ hours of uninterrupted sleep. Beautiful.
