We have a standing date night scheduled on Saturdays. It’s a time we look forward to every week – a time for us to have fun, re-connect outside of our regular lives, and invest time in growing our love.

Today was our first Saturday – since we’ve been married! – that we didn’t have anything scheduled on a Saturday. We had a date planned for tonight, but we ended up having a date day. We slept in this morning. We went to the art store and Target together. As I write this, Rafa is making a delicious-smelling dinner of sauteed scallops in white wine.

A big highlight of date day was going to the fish store, where we bought our first coral for the fish tank! It’s a beautiful zoanthid. It is green, orange and purple, and really pretty! We also got more snails. Our tank is looking great.
