best thing i got in charleston

no 
no official valentine's day post
(sorry bout that)

thought this was fitting, though
 
as a psuedo one,

as a two-days-after-valentine's-day-post

so what does this have to do with 
my south carolina trip?

keep reading...

it's silly 
and 
simple

i read it 
word for word 
to my husband as
he listened over 
miles and miles 
of war zone.

he agrees. 

he thinks it's pretty cool, too.

for all those in married land,
or want to be,
or know someone who is
 
the best thing i got 
in charleston, south carolina
was
 a business card.
yes.  
business card, 
from this

i know.
who would have thought?
 
it's not like any business card though.
well, the front is.
you've got your name,
address, number, etc,

but then you turn it over and there is the gold.
on the back,
written in small font.
 
check this out.
 

not kidding.

been married almost 20 years 
and have to say
this is some of the 
best 
simple 
advice 
out there 
when it comes to 
healthy habits in marriage.

so that's it folks.

you can now find this little 
card in my purse.
carried with me at all times.
easy reference, ya know.

so happy hubs liked it too.
he's such a good egg 
and i'm lucky to have him.

hope you liked me 
charleston find.

all you  married veterans out there,
do you agree with 
mr. business card?

would love to hear.

Day Date with the Hubs

This is for all
you married folk out there...
or soon to married...

Today I'm posting about
good habits in marriage.

One thing I know for sure,
after almost 19 years behind us.
Going on dates with the hubs,
is a good thing.

No matter how long you've been married:
newlyweds or veterans.

Consistent dating is good.

On a date
pre-marriage
circa:1992


That's right.

Date your man, peeps.

If he doesn't plan them,
Don't be offended.
YOU plan them.
Or just show up with a bag of food
during his lunch break.
Voila.
Day date.

It doesn't have to be elaborate
or expensive.

Just make it part of your weekly routine.
(Okay, how about every other week)

Look at it as a parenting plan:
What? You ask.

Teach your kids that dating daddy is the priorty.
That's right...

Attention to your marriage first.
Then to your kids...
Your family life
all stems from the marriage you have.

Hey.
Someday the kids will fly the coop.
It will just be you and the hubs.
We better like our guys.
Dating is good for that.

Keep it in check.

Hubs and I love our day dates.
We have them often.

They also tend to be less expensive,
and works better with the multitude of
soccer and track practice taxi duties.

More dating...

I can even remember meeting Mr. Man for lunch
a million years ago when the kids were
little itty bitty.
Thats right,
3 kids under the age of 3.
We all met him at work with our brown bag lunch
from our fave sandwich shop.

We set up camp, picnic style
in the parking lot,
yes,
the parking lot.
It was actually a little grassy median
off to the side of the parking lot,
under a tree.
Very quaint.


Over the years, more dating

It keeps a marriage strong.

That's my tip of the day:
Date your man!

My guy and I have a day date today.
Whew hew.
