So far so good

If anyone else is reading this, you'll be happy to know that I don' t believe in posts without pictures. Isn't it fantastic when you see the first signs of spring?

Since the new year, my husband and I have instituted some new rituals around here. We have set up date night. I know, I know, how original! Well, we used to find things we really wanted to go out and do, but then we would scramble to find a sitter. Without our parents around to just offer to take Tobin so we can reconnect, it actually takes some work. Being new to this province, meant that our sitter selection was on the low side.

We now have a standing date every other Friday night and the same sitter. It makes life so much easier (for us and for the sitter).

The hubby and I have had three dates now - and so far so good! We made our own version of the best of Vancouver. We had a progressive supper where we ate one course of a meal at each restaurant we have been meaning to try. Another night we went with friends to a charitable dinner with a fixed menu. The proceeds went to the food bank. This last Friday, we took in some theatre at the PUSH festival that is on right now.

This has been the best thing for us! Great time together and no stress for finding a sitter. I highly recommend it.

Anyone else have suggestions for great date night ideas? Let me hear them.
