Tonight is Date Night.
One of the things I'm really happy we invest in is our subscription to theatre tickets at the Denver Center. It's something we both enjoy, even if the husband ends up disliking most of the shows, it's an event. We always turn it into a "Date Night" which I am incredibly thankful for.
On Date Nights, we always get dressed up super fancy (in Denver most people think it's ok to go to the theatre in jeans and sweats), we go out for a tasty meal at a snooty restaurant, and we end the night watching strangers sing and dance and tell stories we couldn't possibly imagine.
Especially in relationships that have lasted so long and can tend to slip into the mundane and the state where you take your partner, your free time and your happiness for granted, arranging for special nights like these are so important. Even more so if you have kids and have lost yourselves in your children. They don't have to be fancy or cost a lot, but take that time and enjoy everything you love about you and your partner.Tonight, we are going to eat at Willie G's and see Evita. It should be a wonderful date.
Hi there - saw a link to your blog through a Facebook post from the DCPA. I am on a similar quest, so I wish you all the best. Hope you liked "Evita" - my roommate and I saw it last week and we LOVED it! All the best - Tom
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom. We loved the show. I have to say this has been harder than I ever thought it would be. And thank you for letting me know how you got here. My hits jumped (and by jumped I mean people actually visited) and I had no idea why. I'm just glad to know (and a little nervous too) that people are out there. Thanks so much for your good wishes and all the best to you on your quest as well. - JC
