Date night

Today was dales last day off for the week and we mostly spent it out on the porch watching nothing important going on. It seems to be our new normal now that the kids are growing up. Later we went out to the church for a date night the ward was putting on. It was the first time we left the kids home alone. I was nervous at first because we have never left them alone before but it went well. They followed all the rules and didn't even fight with each other. I can't believe how well it went. At the church we played a sort of newlyweds game with 8 other couples and won. It was nice to know that all those long nights of just talking to each other about everything really paid off. I use to think there was really no point to them other than just talking but now I understand that in a way we were really just learning more about each other. I know after so many years together what could we possibly need to learn that we didn't already know but it turns out that we learned a lot about each other. Funny how that happens when your not paying attention. Blog at you later.
