When Ryan and I were engaged, we got ALL kinds of marriage advice. One of the suggestions that we liked the most and promised that we would do was to have a weekly date night. Most couples that gave us this advice have their date nights on Friday. However, the Army doesn't always allow us to have those Friday nights. Even though the Army is always a struggle, we have proudly had a date night at some point every week. Sometimes we just stay at home and cook dinner together. Sometimes we will have a group date. And sometimes we will go all out and do it old school style - flowers and all.
This past Friday (yesterday), Ryan spoiled me with a fancy date night! First of all, he was home at 4:00 - and as any Army Wife knows, that is almost a miracle in itself! He walked in the door and had beautiful flowers, a teddy bear, and an Army Wife lanyard keychain. Then he told me that I had to go get ready because we were going out to eat. It has been a while since we treated ourselves to going out to eat, so we went to Texas Roadhouse and got ourselves a nice steak! Yummy!!!
Amongst all the chaos in our lives with working, pregnancy, and everything else, it makes me happy to see that once a week we put a pause on life and just enjoy being newlyweds. :) PS- I have the best husband!!
