"This life, therefore, is not righteousness, but growth in righteousness; not health, but healing; not being, but becoming; not rest, but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it. The process is not yet finished, but it is going on. This is not the end, but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory, but all is being purified."--- Martin Luther

Date Night In

Sometimes life gets full and date nights just don't happen. Or going out for a date simply does not sound very fun, should I admit that? Seriously, sometimes it is totally worth it to go out, but other times it feels like a hassle to get all the details arranged in order to go out. Get the kids taken care of, driving someplace, spending money on a meal...

Sometimes it is much more fun to hang out at home. My recent favorite date-night-in involved stopping by one of our favorite restaurants and picking up a dessert to go. We arrived home, had a delicious meal of grilled burgers with the kids, tucked them in, C settled in with a movie and M and I snuggled in with our dessert. Simple, but so nice.

Sounds lovely. And true - going out can be a lot of effort sometimes, especially when there isn't a "built in babysitter."

I love those kinds of nights. We usually only have date nights in because I use my babysitting for working. Your night sounded lovely.

Sounds great to me! We RARELY go out and are almost always home together in the evenings, but sometimes we need to do a little extra something to make it special... like dessert. :)
