If I Only Posted Blogs the Day I Wrote Them...

... then this would have been posted on Saturday.


We survived another week.
Yesterday marked week 4 of having a baby in the house and it also marked 36 years of my sweet husband's life.


How blessed I am to be married to my best friend for over 18 years and to have celebrated so many birthdays with him.
His special day happened to fall on date night.
We haven't always been good about it,
but then again we always have.
Date night.
Weekly.
No matter the week,
the day
or the cash in our pocket;
date night remains the most important night of our week.


Sometimes we laugh,
other times we watch a movie.
We eat, we always eat.
We get dessert, I try to always get dessert,
we walk on beaches and in parks.
We drink coffee,
go to book stores, we've always gone to bookstores
and we fight.
Yeah sad but true, some date nights we argue over something silly like the window placement in our fictitious vacation home in the mountains of NH or Montana or...


Last night we spent the dinner portion of our evening with friends.
It was nice.
We don't always get the chance to have dinner with friends, out, with no kids.
I think we all would have stayed longer, harassing the waitresses and ordering more food we may just as well send back (inside joke).


But last night marked another successful week gone by in the Span Ranch.
We weren't perfect this week;
we did extend grace.


I saw this on Pinterest and liked it, it fits our home perfect:


In this house...
we do second chances
we do grace
we do real
we do mistakes
we do I'm sorry
we do LOUD really well
we do hugs
we do family
we do love.


Hopefully I'll write a post and post it the same day- and hopefully it'll be this week :)
