Date Night!

Ryan and I go out on dates almost...NEVER! Maybe it's a reflection of our whirlwind courtship - we didn't really date then. I mean, how many dates can you go on in a month when one of you is a couple of states away for two of those weeks? We basically hit it off, got engaged and got married - so why bother dating now?

Oh? What's that you say? Spending time together on an actual date now can bring us back to the spontaneous kids we were then? Well, remember where spontaneity can lead you - to the alter in 3 quick months! But hey, it's worked out just fine for Ryan and me. We still want to date each other, after all!

But seriously, friends, I am thankful that:

1. Ryan took a chance on me 12 and 1/2 years ago and is still game for taking chances.
2. We continue to make spontaneous decisions. Not all the time, but enough that 3 days in a foreign country together, Ryan's question of, "Wanna move here?" could be seriously answered with, "Yeah! Why not? It could be fun!"
3. Tonight, we're going on a date!
