Date night

Last evening, after football practice had finished, my husband and I treated ourselves to a date night. Someone mentioned that it was a shame that we had to wait until football practice was over, but that made me laugh. Our very first date ever was also on October 4 (which is why we decided to treat ourselves last night) and it was also worked around football. It was on a Thursday evening because we obviously couldn't go on a Friday night (games), our next several Saturdays already had commitments, and Thursday was the day that practice ended the earliest and my (now) wonderful husband could make the 75 minute drive from where he taught to where I lived. The one year anniversary of our very first date is very memorable. We didn't celebrate that night because it fell on a Friday and guess what...there was a football game. I vividly remember sitting in what was considered to be hurricane remnant rains and just wanting the game to end. We did celebrate the next evening though, and that was actually the evening we became engaged. That however, is another post for another day. Anyway, my husband and I really enjoyed taking about an hour to escape the house and just hang out as the two of us. It's definitely a rare treat these days!
