Settling In

The boxes are gone (shhhh, we're not talking about the stuff in the garage) and I pretty well know where everything is...with a few major exceptions...like my iPad (gasp!). <sigh>

I digress. My point is, I'm settling into a routine. And, since there is focus time, so far it's going pretty well:

• I'm exercising regularly
• I study the Bible every morning
• My husband and I are eating pretty well, health wise
• We even have planned date night on Fridays.

Tonight's the first of our date nights. There are rules. We take turns planning the night and have a budget of $20. Yeah, I know! The limit keeps us from trying to out do each other and it stops us from spending a bunch of money. We have to be creative. Also, if the whole $20 is not used the remainder of the money goes in the till for later. 

For example, tonight I get to plan. Since my husband and I are eating healthy, we'll eat in, so that doesn't count towards the date night (score!). We're going to the movies tonight (Cowboys and Aliens). Believe it or not, there's a place in town that has movies for $3. Again, we're eating healthy, so there will be no popcorn or soda. We'll finish the night with a moonlight walk and I've done date night for $6. The $14 goes in my "account" for later planning (I'm already looking at upcoming concerts). Good planning makes for good fun. A few "cheap" date nights and then I'll dazzle the man, wahaha!
