Fantasy Dates

I know it has been a really long time since I have written anything that doesn't have to do with our little Tace on this blog (since the first post).  The fact of the matter is that these past 8 months of our lives have revolved around Tace, learning to cope, and figuring out how to move forward without our little angel here.  However, there have been a few other things going on in our lives and I want to take a minute to share this fun idea that we have started.

Fantasy Dates.  They are great!  Bri got the idea off of a post he saw on facebook and we decided to implement it in our marriage.  So, once a month we go on a "Fantasy Date" and we take turns planning it every other month.  The rules:  when it is your month to plan the date, you plan something YOU want to do and take no consideration for your spouse's likes or dislikes.  Then the next month they plan something THEY want to do.  Sometimes it will end up being something that you both really enjoy, other times it may not.  It has been a ton of fun though because it has given us the opportunity to do different, fun things that we might not have done before.  And....it allows you to gain an interest, or perhaps a tolerance, for things that your spouse really enjoys.

So, here are our last 4 months of Fantasy Dates!!

April Fantasy Date (Heather)--UVU Ballroom Dance Concert

This is actually an old pic, but we forgot to take one while there!

May Fantasy Date (Brian)--Eating at a Sushi Restaurant

  

I did try it....not a huge fan sushi :)

And Bri loves it!

June Fantasy Date (Heather)--Racquetball

Bri plays racquetball all the time and is really good!
But, we have never played together (because I am not so good),
So for this Fantasy Date we played racquetball! 

It's a good thing he loves me otherwise this date may have been
fairly embarrassing for me.  Haha.  

July Fantasy Date (Brian)--ReAL Soccer Game!

ReAL Salt Lake vs. New York Red Bulls

I had so much fun with this awesome guy!

And we had incredible seats!! (Thank you Tanner and Kristyn Smedley for the tickets!)
The yellow box in the top right corner is surrounding us.  We had a great view!

And more to come as we continue on with our Fantasy Dates!
