Date Night is Back.....and needs some ~PiZzaZz~

And I'm not talking about bedroom pizzazz (I know the thought crossed someone's mind when reading the title, hee hee). We started doing date night last fall. It's one night a month where we grab something to eat and do something else together that doesn't involve sitting on the couch in our living room. So in the past we carved pumpkins, caught a movie, went to a hockey game, caught another movie....and then it just became dinner only.

The purpose of date night, to me, is to get us out of the house together, spending time outside of what we usually do (which is usually watch TV- insert show here: __________). Time for us to shake up our routine and try new stuff together. I'm pretty easy to please, going on a walk would be activity enough for me, because it's NOT TV! My husband, however, is another story. Unless it is a sporting event or a movie, he's not into it, and if we try something new his "idea" about the activity turns the whole thing sour.

I guess what I'm wondering is: What are some new date ideas we could try??

I feel like if we don't make time for our relationship now, we'll really be in for a wake up when kids are in the picture.
