After David returned home from a weekend in Utah (mission reunion), we had the opportunity for a date night. Back in December, he received some NBA tickets for the Kings & Lakers game from a very generous family at one of the schools he works at. The game was Tuesday night and I was very much ready for a date night. We had really great seats and the game was full of dunks (2 important things at a professional basketball game). Getting to spend a fun evening with my husband was the highlight of the night for me. During our night out I got to thinking about how we REALLY need more of these date nights. Life is so busy with our family, work, church callings, sports, etc.,. These are all important and great things to be busy with, but I feel like we need to make "us" a priority more often than we do. I know I can do a better job even in small & simple ways to make my marriage more of a priority.
A picture from the game. Before kids, we took lots of pictures together. Something to remember.
David of course cheered for his Lakers. Here's Kobe ready for his free throw.

I love date nights. I have to admit, they're a little weird when there are no kids to serve and scold. I wish we could do them more often!
I love date nights, even when they are just trips to the always romantic Home Depot! Is that gray on the side of David's head??
Now that we are going to be closer, maybe we can trade babysitting one or two nights a month... whatta say?? :o) One of the things I love about date night is eating out and actually eating a hot meal and not cutting up 4 plates full of food! Glad you guys had fun! Oh, I just had a thought... double date night while mom and dad have the 8 kids! Whoa!
That looks like a ton of fun. Date nights are the best. I found your blog by accident while on Shelby's. I didn't know you were a blogger. Hope you don't mind if I add you to the list I read.
