Last night Julie and I took a little time to still be a married couple. Becky came to town last night and watched Liam while we went out to dinner. Since he eats so often we couldn't go far, but we were able to enjoy a good meal. Plus, they had 1/2 priced wine, which is great! We got there soon enough that it would be out of Julie's system by the time Liam had to eat again, so she got to have a glass with me. They say you aren't supposed to talk about your kids when you take time to have a date night, but I think when your child is only 5-weeks-old that it is allowed. We didn't talk about Liam the entire time, but he did take up quite a bit of our conversation time. We also had a bet on whether or not Julie made me a mix CD in college. She swore she didn't, but I swore she did. Of course, the very first thing I did when we got home was go through my CD collection and found a CD with "From Julie B T" written on the front. I guess that means I was right...as usual! :-)
Our goal is to take some time like this at least every month and a half or so. We both know that Liam is our life now, but we don't want to forget about each other either. To be good parents we need to make sure that our relationship stays close and healthy. I'm glad we got to take some time for that last night. We ended up having a great time. Even if it was only for a brief time.
