Weekend Bits

This weekend was a little bit different than most.  Somehow, Johnny and I found some quiet time during daylight hours on Saturday to lay in bed and watch a movie.  I know what you're thinking: "big deal."  Right?  Well, this might be one of two times this has happened since Poe has been born.  Hope was playing with a friend, Poesy was napping, and we were sitting around... until, suddenly, a lightbulb went off.  We could hang out together.  Weird.

Now, I am exaggerating a little bit for the sake of the story, but honestly, Johnny and I don't spend nearly enough time as just a couple.  We're both very busy with multiple jobs/side projects, on top of being a very tight-knit family, so the girls are almost always with us when there is down time.

After this small window of *quiet/zoning out/watching a movie bliss* together, we realized that we've been slacking.  Sunday, we decided to snag some more time together when the opportunity presented itself.  I made a big lunch and we went for a picnic in the park.  I love that when you are on a date with your best friend, it's not WHAT you are doing, but WHO you are with.  Although, I would never complain about a picnic.  Picnics are pretty much the best.

Coffee dates, lunch dates, movie dates... whatever the occasion, they are always a good reminder for us to do better at making "couple time" a priority.  Sitting down and having a conversation about... well... ANYTHING WE WANT can be pretty refreshing.  Plus, I kinda like him.  ;)
