Date Night

Hey there... haven't talked to you in a couple days.

The past two nights I've been exhausted. I've fallen asleep shortly after laying on the couch at the end of the day. I suppose that was my first mistake.

I've been in the habit of blogging at night lately, and falling asleep messes with that a little.
I've been blogging from my android, usually in bed, after a long day. It's not preferable, but with life being as crazy and unpredictable as it's been, it seems to be the way things have worked out.

Same with spending time with my wife - we snag our time together where we can.

Tonight?

Narnia...

Ice Cream Adventure

Last night my daughter Lauren and I walked a mile and a half, scaling 3 subdivisions, storage units and leapt over office buildings to get to the all-important Baskin-Robbins the back way. Then we did it all over again to get back home.

By the look on my daughter's face, it was worth it.

My face agrees :)

Date Night!

Had a wonderful time with my beautiful, (not so) little girl tonight. Love date nights!

Date Night

*sigh*

Liz and I got away for a date night tonight. How refreshing! A much needed getaway for both of us.

I've been stressed lately, and when I'm stressed, I'm not sure even why I'm stressed.

Its kinda like my difficulty with finding things. I'm horrible at it. Down right awful! What I'm searching for can be right where I'm looking, and I still can't see it. It's the same when I'm stressed, the reason is inside me and my emotions, and I can't recognize it.

Of course, my wife is opposite. She is a phenomenal finder (if there was such a title), and she is excellent at understanding and putting words to her emotions. (Another reason she's perfect for me!)

In fact, I've learned over the years that she has a better awareness than I about where we are at as a couple - if we are connecting well or emotionally distant. I could go for weeks of disconnect and if my tummy was full and we talked about "business" stuff regularly, I'd think our relationship was great!

Thankfully, my wife knows better than me. (And hopefully I've moved from clueless to at least semi-conscious regarding emotional oneness!)

Anyway, it was a great night to get away and be together. We need to do this more often :)
