A Date!!!!
Tonight hunny bunny and I went out on a date!!! Wow!!! And on a week night!! Double Wow!!! There was a huge concert coming up (thanks to KLOVE for informing their listeners about it). Rock and Worship Roadshow was going to have several artist and it was going to be cheap!!! Hey, we watch our money too and $10.00 a ticket is a GREAT price for 4 bands (and they were AWESOME bands to boot!!!). OK...i digress....
ANYWAY!!! We decided to go and it was so much fun!! I loved the bands and as my hunny bunny said while we driving home..."It was like being at church!". It was. The Spirit was incredible and soooo real!!! We were blessed individually and...as a couple. It was a blessing to spend time together. Time with just eachother. Time on us. It felt a little foreign at first but dating is like riding a bike...you never really forget how to do it!! *grin* My hunny bunny LOVES music and he LOVES bands and he LOVES concerts so he LOVED the Rock and Worship Roadshow. And you know what? I LOVED watching him LOVE everything about the night! It was such a joy to see him enjoying himself (let's face it life gets to going sometimes and it is hard to "stop and enjoy the bands!!"). It was great seeing him standing up and singing and dancing and having a blast!!! As I was sitting there I became sad...when was the last time I was able to really enjoy him? Enjoy the man I loved and was mine? When was the last time it was all about him in my mind?
So many times I get caught up in life. Work, to do list, bills, cleaning, puppies, a daughter hundreds of miles away, my spiritual life, Boo, what to cook for dinner, what projects are needing to be completed before I leave work? There are always things to be done, places to go, people to see and I get to caught up in that...and when I think I am done and able to relax Monday comes...and it starts all over!!! The sad thing is I often find two areas that seem to always get pushed to the bottom of that list...can you guess one of them? Yep...my hunny bunny. I mean, he is not going anywhere. He understands how busy I am, how stressed I am, how much I juggle. Right? He understands my life better than anyone else. He loves me and because he loves me he will be ok with being on the bottom of the list (after all he knows I love him). He does not need that much time. He has his own set of things he needs to focus on and I am ok on the bottom. Right?
Right? Are we both right in getting on with the "important" things in life? What about us? What about "US" time? Don't we need that? It is something I have asked before and right when I get to answering it the dryer would buzz, the water would boil over, one of the girls would jump in the car from dance, soccer practice, Girl Scouts and I would get on that crazy "life" road and the question would remain unanswered.
Unanswered until tonight when I saw my hunny bunny dancing and singing. I realized I miss him and I miss enjoying things like concerts with him. I miss being "US"...just us...no girls (even though I love them sooooo much), no stress, no finance talk, no work talk...just us!! Me and hunny bunny!!! It was then I decided we need to make time for us, time to be together...time to "DATE"!!!! teeehehehehe... My hunny bunny and I are going to start dating again and I feel like a 19 year old again! A couple who has been married for 22 years...dating!!! I LOVE IT!!! And I LOVE God for showing me all this while at the concert. He is AWESOME!!!!
How about you? When was the last time you and your hunny bunny were out alone...on a date? When was the last time you spent time with just each other?If you have to think and ponder (like we did) then it's time. Find a day in the next few weeks (if you do not have time...MAKE TIME) and get together. Just the two of you. Do something you haven't done in a while or something you did last week...it does not matter as long as it is only the two of you. Forget everyone else, everything else and enjoy eachother. Enjoy being together. Take the time and make the time to DATE. You will not be sorry you did. *smile*
