Favourite Things Friday

Friday is my favourite day of the week.  Not only because it is the beginning of the weekend, which I am a huge fan of, but because it is a night that Darren and I choose to spend together for some quality time.  It is our ‘date night’.  We started having date night over a year ago and I think it is one of the best things we have ever done for our relationship.  It is a chance to connect or re-connect after one crazy busy week after another, really talk, have fun together and to just enjoy each other.  Whether we are just lounging on our ridiculously comfy couch with a glass or wine, or if we going out for a lovely dinner or a stroll along the breakwater, I just love this time that we focus 100% on us.

Lives quickly get filled up with things to do, errands to run and before you know it years have passed by.  Having a night dedicated just for us is a way we choose to stay grounded.  It helps us keep our priorities in check and I think it makes both of us feel even more valued.  Time is such a precious thing and I think how you choose to spend it in your life speaks volumes about who you are and where you are going.  I know that I want to live my life more simply and really focus on what truly matters.  Darren is the most amazing thing in my life and spending our date night together always makes me feel like I am the luckiest lady in the world.

Love you babe and can’t wait for you to get home!

No post is complete without a picture, so here is another shot from Alicia and Skye’s amazing wedding and the beautiful love they share.

You’re so right! Bryn and I don’t have an official date night but this definitely makes me want to decide on one! 🙂
