This past month has been a bit hard on me to be totally honest. I've
been fighting illness constantly and working like crazy. Matt's been
working really hard too which has meant a lot of late nights alone for
the both of us. But if I've learned anything throughout all of the
craziness it's that you can't let the important moments slip away.
People always told us that you had to still date each other when you get
married. And we were like, "Well duh, we'll be married and be around
each other all the time!!" But in reality when we've been together
(which is quite the rare sight) we've been sooooo exhausted and the last
thing on our minds has been going out. I think that happens to really
any married couple, (or maybe I'm a lone ranger? Who knows!) but in our
own little way we've tried to become better this month and have more fun nights together; camping inside, hiking, going on sunset
walks and dancing in the living room have been our saving grace. I think
just trying to have little moments of joy has made all of the
difference, and hey aren't dates where you can stay in your slippers and
stretchy pants really the best kind of dates?? I mean can i get a what what!
Yeah, it's funny, even when you're married and living in the same house, you have to be proactive about spending fun time with each other!!

You hang in there, girl! I had a crappy month too, so I can sympathise. All couples grow into each other and get used to each other, that's just a sign of a healthy relationship. And it sounds like you guys are doing exactly the right thing by dancing and camping out in the living room, to keep that flame burning! :)
ReplyDeleteI always thought after my husband and I got married the dates would kind of continue. But then came two kids and eight years have rolled by, and I have realised that making those times together, just for the two of you, is vital. I love the camping indoors idea, that looks like a hoot. Now to find our tent.....
ReplyDeleteThat salt lake picture is beautiful! Hopefully things will slow down for ya'll!

Oh I sympathize. Really. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love the camping inside idea, so cute, I'm totally going to suggest the idea to my hubby. I hope this next month brings you a breath of fresh air and you'll feel renewed and relaxed. I absolutely love reading your posts!
