One of my favorite New Year’s Resolutions that I’ve accomplished in my lifetime and have really strived for and been fairly successful at is about to be unveiled to you…..drum roll please…..Friday night dates with my Husband! It really is what keeps me going through the week.
I set this goal when we had 3 young children at home (probably 2002) and had to pay a babysitter every Friday night. This meant that the date we went on had to be basically free since all of our money was going to a sitter. It was worth the $$$$$ SERIOUSLY. I could elaborate of all of the benefits, but I won’t. I will just say it is nice to have a best friend by my side and know that Friday night he’s all mine and I don’t have to share!
I really love January – a month for me to reevaluate stuff, push myself to be a little better, and give myself a direction to go in, it also gives me something to look forward to. Very cleansing and also refreshing. Now it is time to get to work!

That is a wonderful resolution to accomplish. Good for you two, Happy mama and papa, make for happy kiddos. I love taking time to set new goals to! I think the best present one could give one’s self is to take some time to meditate or ponder how to be a little better :).

Dating your spouse gets easier as your kids get older. It really is good practice for future missions and the years of being empty nesters. The treasure of having a companion you really like to be with is priceless, but must be developed. It doesn’t come completely natural, kind of like a talent, but a very important one.
