So many changes occur when two worlds collide. Our previous D.I.N.K. (double-income, no kids) world collided with Sophie’s world. Sometimes it feels like it’s only Sophie’s world and the independent-adult-do-whatever-you-want world no longer exists.
I love my daughter more than there is space on the internet to it explain how much I love her, but sometimes I want to creep back into D.I.N.K. world for a few hours. It’s like peeking behind a curtain while this other life is going on and thinking, “When should I go back in… during the long shower, during the night at the movies or during the long sleep-in on Saturday? Ooo, or maybe I could jump in during the evening out at the fancy restaurant!”
Last Saturday Sheldon and I got that chance to “jump in”. Thanks to our awesome LG friends, we were able to have a lovely dinner at 135 Prime. Everything was perfect. It was a slow-service (in a good way) meal, the lights were dim, the food was amazing, and the company…well, I’m in love with the company, so that was great too!
It was a much-needed peek into another lifestyle. I fully enjoyed the evening out with my husband and I also fully enjoyed coming home to my precious little girl. Life is good.

Now, I like YOUR new header! Yes, date nights, even low key ones, are essential to surviving these early parenting years, I think!
I was experiementing with the header...I still haven't perfected the way I want it to look. :) I can't figure out how to align the picture to the right of the screen.
I like the way you put that! We were at a marriage conference this past weekend and had to come up with some date night ideas to put in an envelope. The idea is that we'd draw from the envelope when we're stuck on what to do. Considering that's generally an impromptu sort of thing, all our ideas had to include Caleb! Either they were stuff we could do at home or we could take him with us. So yeah, a dinner at a nice slow restaurant didn't make it in that envelope, but it sure does sound nice. :)
