D is for…Date Night (Week 12 of the 52 Weeks Project)

One of my goals for the New Year is to improve my relationship with my husband. It's not that we have a bad relationship, but there is always room for improvement. One thing I think might help our relationship is to begin having a weekly date night. Some of these are new, while others are favorites we've done before.

1. Drive in movies. There's a great one less than an hour from us and we've never been. 
2. Spread a blanket on the ground and stargaze.
3. A park date. We did one of these when we were first dating and it was so much fun!
4. Take a picnic somewhere gorgeous. 
5. Spend an evening at the arcade. 
6. Have a food themed night. Paris, China, only finger foods, just see what you come up with.
