In the days where we lived apart, before we were married, after work on Friday, I would travel 4 hours, south, to Long Beach in time for a walk and dessert....
food + intentional conversation = date
That lasted for 2 years.
Then...we moved to Canada. I was in school full-time, and Heidi, in the beginning, was having trouble finding a job. But still, every Friday night, we shared a mocha at Starbucks...and called it a date.
food + intentional conversation = date
That lasted for 2 months.
Heidi found a job...and we started having more expensive date nights: 4 slices of crappy pizza and 2 pops for $6.
food + intentional conversation = date
That lasted for 1 year
Heidi and I both started working a new job...at a church. Our date nights were changed forever...we dated on Saturdays....and it was a full-on dinner...$25.
That lasted for 3 years
So, a couple nights ago...we dated. Again. Like always.
food + intentional conversation = dateand we're hoping...this lasts, forever.

That is such a good habit to be in. Having a baby makes "dates" darn near impossible sometimes. But you gotta get it when you can. Your definition of what makes a date is perfect. Keep on keepin' on.
Thanks Vanessa! It'll be interesting to see how this date night morphs....
we hope to keep having dates....we'd hate to see that go byby
White Spot!
