Yesterday we got up at 4, were at work at 7:30 am and had a very busy day. At 5, I realized I was hungry. We had the choice to to go to dinner or go on a date. We choose the latter. No, going on a date with your husband is not an oxymoron. I put on some makeup, high heels and skinny jeans and tried to look good for my date. I could have thrown on a coat and just went in my work clothes, but I wanted to make our time together special. We didn't stay out late and went to sleep really early. People ask me all the time how we've lasted so long. It just takes a little effort.
