date done right

I know i shared with some people but i don't exactly remember if i shared it here (and let's face it i'm way to lazy to go back through and check) but for Christmas gifts for each other this year Skip & I decided to each take 6 months of 2013 and plan at least one date a month. that way we are guaranteed to get a night, or day, or breakfast, or lunch,or even just a couple hours sometime throughout the day of just us time. time to help us become closer. time to help us not lose skip and starr. time to help us just have some fun.
     Well, february was my month and today was the day i had planned. i was so nervous that Skip was going to really not enjoy it and was worried it would be a bust. on the agenda was Bingo, Subway, and an actual conversation. He was really rather happy with bingo and even happier when we won the coverall :)  another lady won as well so we didn't get the whole pot but lets just say we were both quite happy with our $300 win. yep, that's right. it cost us $22 to play bingo and we won  $300. could have been $600, which would have been crazy awesome and we could have planned a mini getaway, heck we might just do that anyway with the $300 or we may plan more extra dates to just go become bingo addicts :)
after our awesome time at bingo we went and grabbed lunch and then went to the park and had a little picnic. a while back when planing the dates i had each of us take a test to find out what our 5 love languages were and then while on our picnic we discussed them. we learned which love language we each are and which ones are rated where. it was nice to have time to talk with one another and just talk about us. overall it was just a great day :)
