Date Night In

RECIPE FOR AN ENJOYABLE, RELAXING DATE NIGHT AT HOME

2 Angus strip steaks, grilled to perfection
2 Baked potatoes, fully loaded
2 slices of chocolate pie from the frozen grocery section

A makeshift table on the ottoman in the den

A great movie we had just begun the other night, Cinderella Man

Brian and me (and this time, the voice of a very awake little girl heard over the monitor)

*********************

What a wonderful way to spend the evening. When we can't or don't want to go out, we so enjoy these evenings. And Brian, the wonderful husband he is, encouraged his tired, achy wife to go on to bed while he cleaned up.

P.S. The funniest thing was the label on the box of pie. It said, I kid you not, that we were to allow it to defrost on the counter for 5-7 minutes and then "Consume immeditately."

No problem. Check. Done.

Good. For. You.

Those dates are SO important, whether they involve getting dressed up and going out, or putting on our pj's and curling up on the sofa with a good movie.

Nurture, nurture, nuture that marriage. It is what's keeping your family growing in size and in faith. :)

Have a great weekend!
