12 Months of Dates
Ever since Harper was born our parents have been more than willing to take Harp for a few hours here and there. Even in the beginning. Nick's dad would come over and just sit and hold this itsy-bitsy baby while we went out and got dinner. Now that she is older, my mom has a standing date with her every Sunday from 3 until dinner time and she has a sleepover at Mom-mom and Pop-pop Wood's just about every other month. The funny thing is, when Harp is gone, we never know what to do. We run errands, watch tv, and even sleep but nothing exciting. Sometime we hardly talk.
The problem is we forgot how to date and how to spend time together.
I am determined to change this in 2015. So, for Christmas, I decided to make Nick the 12 Months of Dates I have seen all over blogs and Pinterest. Each month is a special date that is planned and put into an envelope. The plan is to open them at the beginning of the month and decide when to go. Some take place right in the house while others are at places like restaurants, movies, sports games and even mini-vacations.
(I must admit...there are ideas all over Pinterest. I used some dates I found, made some minor changes to some, and even came up with my own. The opening letter is the basic letter I found most people were using.)
This is the letter I attached to the front cover.
Today, we are going on our very first date of the year. It's a simple date but very important.
