This is the first day of my life
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But, now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy.

I don't tell my husband how much I appreciate him enough, I say it a lot, but I am sure I could always say it more. When Ryan and I were dating we had so much time; time to talk about our days, time to have long dinner dates with too many drinks, and time to just do whatever the hell we wanted. When Ryan and I first got married we still had a lot of time, there was always enough wine and enough time to have 10 of our friends over on a Monday night, we had time to go see any new movie we wanted and we had time to run off for a weekend away. Now that we have a child time has a different meaning. I cherish it so much more. I want more hours in the day to fill them with Ryan because it can be hard for both of us to unwrap ourselves from our daughter to just be us. Now let me first say we are both so in love and happy to roll on the floor with our babe but this post isn't about Claire.. All of my other posts are. This one is for us.
Ryan, I love you.
I am so happy to have you. You bring me a smile every single day and I do not think I would love this life as much if I did not have you to share it with. xo
Last weekend Ryan and I got to have a little date night at Delius, it was not only delicious but it was long and we didn't need to check our phones or order quickly. We ordered appetizer after appetizer and just caught up. It was beautiful and I want to do that so much more. Weekly date nights start today and I am SO EXCITED. It isn't feasible for us to go out every single week so we are bringing the date night to our own little home. Once Claire goes to bed instead of cleaning the house, paying bills, staring at our phones we will do something for us. Whether its sit on our patio and talk or pull out an old favorite game, we will just focus on each other, our wine and yummy bites. We are also planning on going a little bit more into hermit mode, less group plans and more cuddling at home. Recharging ourselves is just as important as giving to our communities and seeing friends, plus with the money we save we can take a vacation!
These pictures were take a few weeks ago we took our family photos for Claire's 2nd birthday and I really wanted to get some pictures of just the two of us, I am so thankful I did. Helloha Photography knows us so well and it was fun to capture a few with just my husband.
How do you and your partner make sure to stay connected? Any fun at home date night ideas are welcome
