Be Mine...Always!

On Thursday Matt and I got to spend the day together hanging out! I love those days! We were going to eat @ one of our favorites that we save for special occasions...Carrabbas....but they don't open until 4:00! Geez! So we went next door to Abuelo's, which we like also!
They have a platter that we share and it is enough for both of us and then we take home enough to feed us both for another meal! It's huge! And it's only $14.99! So cheap to eat there!! And good!
We headed to Sams since we were in Tulsa to pic up a few things and he bought me some flowers there which I will show later. One of our goals this year has been to strengthen our marriage so we have made it a priority to go on a date or spend some alone time once a week. It might be going to Lowes and dreaming of things we want to do to our house or just sitting at Starbucks. We don't have to "go big" just to have a great time. Just being alone, enjoying each others company and growing in our love for each other. It's been great and I can definitely see benefits of remembering our "first love". If you are not taking the time to spend alone time together...do it! I know when you have little ones it's harder...so just do it as you can. My kids are able to stay alone now or we go while they are in school so it's a little easier for us than it was when they were little. Just a couple of hours a week will make a huge difference! There is no one else I would rather spend the day with...I love you Matt Thomason!!
