What it's all about...

After a mere year and a half of marriage, followed up with a honeymoon pregnancy and now a rowdy (almost) nine-month old, I realized that the time we have together is precious. As much as we fully enjoy spending time together as our little family unit, sometimes we forget to make time to be alone together and give one another the individual attention we need. This thought developed into an idea to set aside the time each week during the year to just spend quality time together and get out of the rut of doing the same things we always do (usually have dinner at Rosa's, or go to Pala if we're really feeling ballsy!). I'm shooting for 52 dates, but it doesn't sound as catchy as 50, and hopefully we'll just continue it on as a tradition. Some of the ground rules for what qualifies as a "fresh" date are that there really are no rules. Hopefully we'll be able to get a babysitter most of the time, although we do love family dates as well! Maybe they'll be close by our house and we will budget where we can. My goal is to do as many things as we have never done before and try to new things so that we can have new favorite things. We'll see how this goes...
