Tomorrow night my husband has big plans for us.
For the past few years, every January the two of us sit down for a special evening of future planning.
We have supplies: a good dinner, pens, paper, a list, a calendar and a bottle of wine.
We set goals. For ourselves individually, for our family, for the two of us as a couple.
We makes resolutions. We challenge ourselves. We make goals and say them out loud so we become accountable for...

- craving guacamole and a good drink
- missing friends

Winner, winner date night dinner
Last weekend, at her daycare Fall Fair, Daughter won a prize for guessing how many candy corns were in a jar.
She guessed 1,400. The correct number was 1,420. (she’s 3- so this pretty much helped confirm my child is a genius.)
She won the jar of candy. She also won parent date night for her family. i.e. the kids stay at daycare all evening with friends eating pizza, watching movies,...
When you guys are some place super serious like a work conference, a courtroom, church, etc. you wonder what would happen if you got up and started running around screaming while ripping your clothes off too, right? Ok, good. Glad it’s not just me.

Today is my husband’s 1/2 birthday. (We celebrate them in our family.)
The other night our marriage was a rockstar. A “to do” list longer than Santa’s Nice list was getting me down, we got a late start to our evening and both of us were feeling generally overwhelmed.
But we tackled everything as a team.
“Ugh, I don’t want to do this!”
