New Year. Same Love.

One of the fun parts about being married is taking ideas from your roots and making traditions that fit your own little family. My parents have always had the tradition of not getting each other gifts, but instead setting aside an "after Christmas date" when they would go shopping together and just have a blast. I remember longing to go with them because there was such anticipation on their part and they always came back holding hands and laughing. 

We love this idea and think we might implement it down the road, but right now we both still like giving and opening packages together on Christmas. We have however made it a priority to set aside time and extra money to go on a special date right after the new year. A chance to start the year of together, connected and talk about our hopes, fears and dreams. 

This year was the best yet. The girls are big enough to love their time with my parents and not miss us at all- which makes my mama heart breath a sigh of relief and makes it possible to focus 100% on this man who has me smitten. 

We ate at TWO restaurants over a couple hours, just for the fun of it... 

We ate. We laughed... A lot. We kissed. We talked. 

We are stoked for 2015!
