Date Night - Our Plans

Hi ladies! (and any gents reading)

My friend, Christi, missed a couple of weeks and therefore so did I on the Date Night thing.

The last couple of weeks my hubby and I have been making a lot of time for each other just because we have been talking and working on issues. It hasn't been fun time all the time; it's been hard work and my head hurts. So we've planned a fun afternoon tomorrow.

Just over a year ago our arena burnt to the ground. In a small town, that's a HUGE thing. So there is a fund raising drive to get the money to build us a new arena / pool complex thing! One of the activities being put on is a theatre production - one showing is a dessert theatre and one is a dinner theatre. We don't have a lot of extra funds right now, so we chose the less expensive dessert theatre that is in the afternoon. My hubby does not like theatre, so this is pretty cool for me that he suggested we go.

Now after this weekend our (dh's and mine) regular weekly activities start.

We've been trying to start our Financial Peace University for a couple of weeks now, but it hasn't gotten off the ground; just trying to make connections. I think we are starting for real this week. No kids allowed. I consider this a date; we are learning and with others and it may not be "fun" but it's time together.

Then the ballroom dancing! I think I've mentioned it a couple of times already, so I'm sure you know how excited I am. J and I have talked about learning for years. This happens Wednesday nights starting the last day of September. We've talked at least two other couples into joining us. It's gonna be a fun group! I can't wait.

So from now until Christmas (and a little after, with the FPU) we will have two outings a week!!!

Go on over to My Chick Flick and leave a comment, link up, or just gather some ideas.

TIP: When considering taking a course like the ballroom dancing or the FPU, divide the cost by the number of classes. When I looked at the cost per person of the ballroom dancing, I was so disappointed; I didn't think we could hack it. Then I thought, let's look at this differently. If we went on a date every week, we'd spend $xx on a sitter and $xx on supper, plus gas. I took the cost of the dance and the sitter and I divided by the 13 weeks (or whatever it is, I forget now) and it came out to less than if we went out for supper once a week.

Just a thought.
