Project 52: Week 6
2074
Two Thousand Seventy Four is the amount of date nights you will have if you have 40 years left of your life together and date once a week.
Doesn’t seem like a lot does it?
Having a fiery personality can put a damper on things sometimes, I get hot about a topic, then I make things not as enjoyable for date nights. Dave and I had a rough week, therefore date night was a little off.
Why?
I have no idea.
How petty and childish is it that I don’t remember.
So Dave wrote on his Facebook about a “wasted night” and then wrote 2074.
After I questioned him about it a few days later, he told me.
“2074 is the amount of date nights we have left”
40 years together…
2074 date nights to make special
2074 date nights that will be weekly offers to each other.
Last week was a wash on date night, we had kids, we had issues… we spent 3am-8am in bed talking Saturday night. That was our date “morning”…. We had each other…we napped for about 30 minutes before dating the kids on Saturday at the
From now on, I won’t waste another date night… we deserve the best 2074… I’ll tell you how we are doing in 2050.

Aloha Friday - 2/5
Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link at An Island Life. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
What is your favorite dish to make for Super Bowl Sunday?
Have a great Friday everyone!!

Waiting to Wait
I find myself in this strange purgatory in my life.
It feels as if I am waiting to wait….
We are immensely lucky that we both have our jobs and they are safe in this economic environment. My school district is doing cuts that are numbered in the millions of dollars and Dave’s work is shifting positions to expand their distance of demand.
With that said… we are in a holding pattern of our life.
Our time might become a bit more limited and our family life is going to shift. For the betterment of our life… perhaps… we will both be taking on new responsibilities as parents and having to learn how to cram our life with the kids into the few hours we can.
We will also have to learn how to be partners with one another on a different level. We have one of the best relationships I've ever been in, he is selfless, caring and dedicated to our family. It is not as if I'm worried about anything right now, but I don't want to ever be in the position where I would.
Getting in those few hours here and there that we can, with my non-profit that will be started in a few months, Booster club duties and being a mom and his baseball, work and being a dad… we will have to learn how to be “us”.
Date nights are a priority; we need to have that time to ourselves where we can remember why we fell in love. Going away for the weekend to a quiet place, sitting on the porch next to a river or even just camping in the backyard are things that need to become the norm if this shifts the way I think it will.
Again, I am waiting, waiting to see what will happen.
Patience has never been a virtue of mine, I’m a girl that takes a hold of something and molds it around my life, or my life around it. I’m in a holding pattern and I have no idea what I’m doing.
Luckily… I’m a focused girl, so once I put my mind to something… it happens.
So it will.
