Painting #2: Seth and I were able to go on the most wonderful day long date this last Saturday. We'd love to go out on dates every week and there have been times in our marraige when we lived by family or have been neighbors with close friends when this was possible, but for at least two years or so we've only been able to go on a date about once every two months if we are lucky. We had a great time! We began our date at the park talking about us, memories, goals, our children, etc. We haven't had such a great talk in a while. I felt so renewed and excited to begin this new year. I'm so happy to married to the wonderful person I am married to.Then we went to a great Japanese resturant called Gyu Koku where there was a little bbq pit in the middle of our table and they brought us course after course of delicious food to grill ourselves. We spent about 2 hours there laughing, singing along to the music, and having fun. Then we watched a movie. It was such a great day!
All growing up my dad use to take me on "adventures" (usually driving around in the car for a few hours) and he would talk to me about the person I was, what was going on in my life, what my goals were, and memories from him growing up. I loved those talks. I felt like it put life back in perspective and I felt renewed. This is how our talk at the park felt and basically our whole date. That is why I chose to paint a picture of different pretty leaves... because what is powerful to me is "Turning Over A New Leaf" and feeling renewed and greatful for life! And I do. Thanks honey! MMmwWHHhaa!
