Making time for us

Sometimes it feels like there is never enough time for you to spend with your loved ones. I have 2 jobs not counting being a mom. I like to spend most of my free time playing with the Cupcake. Giving her as much attention as I possibly can. Unfortunately, that kind of leaves Bubba in the dark. We try really hard to squeeze in a few minutes here and there for kisses, hugs, spanks, and what nots. But I tell you it's hard, very very hard.

I am so lucky to have such a great partner. He really does understand that it's hard being a parent. He does so much for us that he too just goes with the flow and tries to just give everything he has in regards to time to the Cupcake. So it's nice that we are on the same page there. But we miss "us". We miss getting to go out just "us" with no Cupcake, no sippy cups, no diapers, no cranky screaming baby in the car seat.

Lately we have really been lacking in that department. Now, you might think we don't go out because we have no money or we don't have a babysitter. But honestly, we have both, we just prefer to spend our us time all together as a family.We rarely want to give "us" that time to just enjoy ourselves sans baby.

So...we decided we needed to go out just the two of us. The movie Ted was already in theaters and that's one movie we both wanted to go see. So we made it a date. We went to dinner and Bubbae couldn't have picked a better place. We went to Benihana for dinner. I am not a big fan of Chinese/Japanese food but this place sounded good that day. I am never satisfied when I go there but that night everything was perfect.

What I enjoy about dining there is the little show the cooks do while they are preparing your food. This cook made an egg man. I thought that was pretty cool.

This is us waiting on dinner. Can you tell we are excited!!!

Before we took off on our date. I felt taller than him even though he swears I wasn't and he was right. Even though I am wearing 5 inch wedges. By the way I absolutely love these shoes. If you are wondering where they are from, they are from GUESS. I got them on sale about 5 months ago for $30.
