Dating Ideas
Hi! I'm Betsy (Karie's sister-in-law). Let me give you some background before I ask... BEG... for suggestions and ideas...
My husband and I dated 12 times before we got married. Yep, 12 times. Dates consisted of going out to eat and talking in the booth for hours and then maybe a movie, IF he didn't have to drive the 3 1/2 hours back home to go work on his farm. Then when we married, we waited 5 months before getting pregnant (I got pregnant... I hate when "we" is used. shame on me). During that 1st year without baby, we remodeled our home. Dates consisted of wandering the aisles of Lowe's, Home Depot, and Bargain Outlet for much needed supplies. Then baby #1 arrived 2 months after our first anniversary... with special needs. Then dates consisted of trips to and from our two children's hospitals. ARE YOU NOTICING A THEME OF NOT VERY RELAXING AND FUN DATES YET??? SO baby #2 arrived 14 months later and dates... what are dates??? Whenever we do get a chance to escape, they consist of going out to eat and wandering the aisles of Sam's Club. Now baby #3 will be here in two short months and I'm TERRIFIED of how low our new dating activity ideas will sink!!!!!
HELP!!!!
I would love to know your ideas and suggestions for dating activities. AND your ideas for stay-at-home (after kids go to sleep) dates with your spouse. Keep in mind, we don't live remotely near the ocean or mountains! What do you and your spouse do on dates (that doesn't involve making baby #4)?
Any suggestions are helpful and, as you can read, are most likely better than ours! Thanks!
