Photographic Friday

There are a few things Aaron and I have agreed to do lately: 1.) Play games instead of watch TV or do an independent activity when we get home from work. 2.) Go on a date every Monday night and 3.) Enjoy long walks in the morning.

We have stuck to it! I have to say, after a long day, coming home and playing a game with Aaron has improved our relationship. It helps me to unwind and prevents us from getting into deep discussions about the wedding, work, or other "life things" that people often spend too much time worrying about anyway. During the week we have such limited time and opposing schedules so we see each other for approximately two hours per day- we need to use this time wisely.

As for our dates: every Monday evening we either go out for a drink or do dinner somewhere. Usually it's just the two of us but, occasionally, we go with a friend or family member.

The mornings are my favorite: we get up early, saddle up the pups, and take them for a long walk before coming home to have a cup of coffee and get ready for the day ahead.

I'm loving this! However, school is starting soon. Hopefully we'll be able to keep this up when the world further challenges our schedules.

Sequence! We love this game. And yes, those are Swedish fish and Milk duds. Doesn't everyone eat those when they play games? For us, it's necessary!
