The Peanut Gallerie

It started a few weeks back on my birthday. Austin and I had spent the day driving around to antique shops. He bought me a cast iron muffin tin. Each muffin was shaped as a different fruit or leaf. It's adorable and I can't wait to use it.

We also browsed some rings. We're searching for an antique looking one. Later that day, we dropped James off with his parents and went to dinner. It was our first date in a very long time.

We were giggly.

Like on our first date. We started asking each other questions again. With all of our energy going into James, we forget to spend time on each other. We had so much fun.

I spoke with a friend of mine. She knew exactly what I meant and completely agreed! Her husband and her try to go on date night every week. It's so important, she expressed.

So, we've been setting aside a few hours every Thursday. (Thank God for Austin's family and their help :) One week, we actually got to see a movie. I know, impressive. We've been to pizza places and Sizzler (don't knock it, it's all you can eat) and I got to have sushi!

We reconnect.

We focus on each other, if not, just for those few hours. Believe me... it does wonders to the relationship. We were doing good before. We communicate superbly. We handle finances like pros. There's just something different when we get those few moments... like a bigger spark takes over.

I fall in love all over again.
