Alister and I used to have date nights every monday, it was a time to spend together doing something together. I think sometimes living together, one forgets to actually spend quality time. It gets lost in all the normal tasks and daily life.
So anyway, for the first time since we were married, we've started our date nights back up. :) Friday works better than monday now, so yesterday was it. Alister volunteered to plan the first one, so he told me he had a surprise planned and he would take me to dinner.
I had to work until 6:30, so he said to take a change of clothes with me, and he would pick me up and we'd go straight there. So at 6:45 I was standing outside waiting when a big truck pulled up to the curb with a smiling Alister at the wheel. He had borrowed a Ford Ranger from work for me :) (just like my brother's truck back home!)
So he took me out to dinner and we shared meals and a dessert (yummmy banana split) . Then we went out for a drive. Ali planned on taking me to the horse races....simply because it has horses and I love them! But it was rather chilly and I was in a dress, so we had a long drive out to the airport, then we sat and waited for a plane to land....which at that time of night was only 1 little beech. But it was still nice. Someone kept driving by and had the horn blare like they do in Dukes of Hazard. Annoying but cool at the same time, lol.
So I had a lovely date, and the best part of all? That I got to go home and cuddle with my darling husband at the end of it. Thanks my love.

I'm going to comment on this post...because i know how cool it is to get comments (hint hint). Date nights sound fun. When Jake and I live in the same house we will probably have to do them too :) Going to Dunedin 9-23 April. My friend Lucy is coming too so that will be a good distraction for me. Won't be bothering Jake. He'll be so busy with clients etc. Love Brenda
