Date Night!

We had our favorite teenage babysitter come over tonight. Oh yeah, the kids graciously give up a few hours hanging out with us for a few hours of fun with Kayla! We have to be careful as to when we tell them that she is coming over, lest they ask every 35-45 seconds, "when is she going to be here? When is Kayla coming over? When is she going to be here?" They love Kayla and miss her if she doesn't come over at least once a week.

We went to Gloria's, our favorite restaurant. I love their strawberry margaritas and queso. John loves their margaritas and the whole atmosphere. it is so interesting how much we appreciate 2 hours to talk, carry on a conversation, complete a conversation, etc. I told John 2 or 3 times how much I just enjoy being with him and talking. Granted most of it is about the kids, but not everything. We can actually talk about stuff that we otherwise have to spell out around the kids or they end up asking too many in-depth, follow-up questions. Overall, a great night to reconnect and enjoy each other's company and realize how wonderful our marriage is.
