GREAT DAY!!!

Well yesterday Melanie and I checked out.... Meaning that we shut off our phones and just ventured out to spend the day w/ only eachother and no distractions. It has been a long while since we have done this. We did not do anything particularly special except focus on eachother but it was great. We went and dropped off the Jeep to get an oil change and then went and saw "Blind Side" at the movies, then we went and shopped for a while in the University town center. After all that walking in the cold we decided to go out to eat and used a gift card we got for X-Mas to go to the Texas Roadhouse for the first time ever- we had a really good waitress who gave great service which was nice- and we gorged ourselves. Then last night we went to the mall and attempted to walk off some of dinner while we shopped. We ended up getting a couple of movies that were on sale at FYE (Baby Mama, and Death Becomes Her). We finished up the day by going home to cuddle on the couch and watch "Baby Mama" which was fun.

This post more than anything is just to share- in retrospect I think this was a great exercise to cut off all distractions and concentrate on each other as a couple- probably one that we will try to plan for more regularly- I would think it would be a great idea for every couple to encourage and strengthen eachother and their relationship.

Hope all is going well in your world,
Much Love,
Ira
