So little story- about an hour ago Tim says "don't blog about me." And I'm going to do it anyway.
Why? Because I do what I want.
As it happens to many couples - you find a cool, or weird person you want to spend your time with, you get married, you have a baby, and then all of a sudden it's all about the baby and not about you two.
Your couple time is spent laying in bed talking about what you did with the baby that day or if you are lucky you guys got to watch a couple episodes of your favorite show before you both pass out.
But remember when you guys would go on dates?
Road trips?
Do nothing but lay around and eat and binge on Netflix?
When we first met we spent a lot of time running around Cedar City looking for fun adventures and things to do. When we moved home our time together was spent with road trips, movies, hiking, events around the town. We were pretty fun!
A couple of weeks ago we finally made it out for a date.
We spent it playing laser tag because what else do adults do?
We've gone out to a movie maybe once every 4-5 months, but this time we actually did something for us, something new. And lemme tell you, it was amazing.
Running around shooting at your husband? I mean, could that date could of gone any better?
I also beat him in mini golf, or as I like to personally call it- golf.
Shut up, Tim. I totally beat you!
I actually forgot to text my father in law and ask how our baby was doing. I NEVER do that! I'm that mom that texts for updates at least 5-10 minutes after I've left. That is how much fun we were having.
Younger married couples, newly married couples, newly parent couples, old parent couples - don't forget to date your spouse. Say screw the kids every once in awhile and do something fun with each other. You both deserve it and you two are the most important part of your family!
For my awesome, weird, loving husband. Sorry I blogged about you, kinda. You are our rock in our crazy life and you are very much appreciated. Thanks for being the best boyfriend, husband, friend, and dad we could ask for!

Regretting not taking a funnier picture.
From there I was thinking man, we have totally forgot to date each other this year.
Our second year of marriage and we forgot to date! Rookies!
We forgot to have fun with each other. We forgot to have a few stress free nights when God knows we needed them desperately.
Don't get me wrong, I still love my husband just as much if not more now that we are parents. Seeing Brynlee's face light up and pretty much say Screw you, mom. Dad is home! Is the best feeling in the world - because their bond is adorable and she will leave me alone for a couple of minutes.
But I forgot how much fun I had with just him. I forgot how much I loved him without him being a dad. And this is okay! This is why marriage is forever- you get to try again to make the following year better.
Even though I enjoy our family of three and hanging out all together I forgot how important it was to continue to date my husband even after marriage and kids. So this year I plan on being better at it. We were the two that started this family and we will be the two to always keep it together. And ya know, I love you after all :)
This was a year ago! My last birthday we went to see Wicked
..for like the third time.
Two weirdos just loving life.
Who were also very happy to find Harry Potter Chocolate Frogs and Butter Beer.
