Hubby and I have been growing much closer lately, and though I don’t blog much about my personal relationship, I decided that should change, a little, anyway. Many of the women I speak and share with regularly; I tend to care to this part of their lives, quite greatly.
I totally contribute our increased intimacy level to be related to our intention to go in regular dates. We have been giving much more attention and even budgeting in special nights for dates. We absolutely LOVE bands; And even when we first got together, we just with music as a tie. We have several memories made over great music, and excellent ambiance with music , dance – everything from salsa, to the lindy hop . (Yea Lord, I said LINDY HOP…).
Tim is a singer, dancer and actor. He has taken white a few dance classes - even ballet. (Yes, I know… go figure…) He really amazes me sometimes. He’s so “out -of -the-box in terms of his thinking, And behaviors, and I love that about him. It truly makes for our days being full of surprises.
I say all this to say…we have a lot of FUN. Yet if we don’t “plan fun”, we don’t have it. This type of thinking has even been included into our CHOICE of future places to live. We found a place where we’d like t live one day and settle down is known for bands, fun places to ride bikes and explore nearby large cities. All of these factors add to our need for fun and excitement. I’ve found that where I feel most home has to do with where i come alive, and it’s usually in places where the need for fun lasts and lasts, and lasts.
Ok…so back to date nights…
Some of the most amazing lives and dreamy nights I have had are in a low-lit, light-music bumping , eateries with lots of laughter; then I take it all home and wake-up-the-next-morn-with it-all in my smile and emotions.
Oh, and I love creating memories…And…they make for cozy nights.
“Cozying up!”
