Tonight was date night! We dropped the kids off at Nick's mom's house for a few hours, and headed out to enjoy some time as just the two of us. Instead of getting dressed up and spending a ton of money on dinner, we opted for burgers and a movie. Perfect. Over burgers we talked about work, the kids, my writing, plans for the summer, and anything else that came to mind. No one started crying, or interrupted us because they had to go potty, or needed us for anything. I can't put a value on drinking a beer with my husband in peace.
After we were sufficiently stuffed, we headed to the movie theatre. We skipped the popcorn and overpriced snacks, and headed in to find our seats. I snuggled next to Nick as the movie started, and he put his arm around me. I looked up at him, looking very handsome in his 3D glasses, and smiled. I can't remember the last time we went to a movie together without our kids. It was just like old times, except that it was 7:30 and we were yawning already. Things change when you have kids, but cuddling in a dark movie theatre with my love, that is always a beautiful thing.
