but it's so much more juicy when it's just between us girls

Just returned from our overnight Christmas date in Georgetown. It was fantastic. A great time to get away from the hustle and bustle of the season and nestle in as a couple(not as parents)and pamper one another.


Overnight dates...highly recommended!

sounds great dotsie

know anyone that will babysit my pomeranians for the night ???????????

I had a date with my husband tonight.

We eloped. We knew each other only about three weeks and we just decided to get married and we did. We both "just knew". And we didn't have sex before we were married either. We both knew we were waiting for something special. We walked forward in faith and our whole life has been so very special ever since.

We drove to a resort and they supplied a preacher who married us in a gazebo in a beautiful garden. We got to the small resort town late and all the stores were closed. My husband found a small gift shop open and he bought us $5 copper wedding rings. We've worn those rings ever since with plans to get 'real' rings at Christmas time.

We had decided on plain gold bands and my husband ordered them at the local jewelry store. Tonight he took me to pick them up. We put them on our hands and it was almost like being married all over again. We just looked at our hands and the gold bands seemed so 'real', so permanent.

After we got the rings, we went to dinner and stared into each other's eyes and thanked God for sending us to each other.

It was a wonderful romantic evening. Just wanted to share it.

wow! What a great way to end our evening by sharing that romantic night. My very, very best to you both! Good grief...if you women keep telling these romantic stories, the Queen here just might have to go out and snag a date! eeek!

smilin, last night will go down in history for you!

You must tell us more...when did you elope, what resort, how did you meet (internet?), and any other little thing you want to tell us.

Jawjaw, hmmm...let's see, who whould make a perfect king for the queen?

Hands down, Mel Gibson...now leave me alone...

I have to write an article this weekend on PMS which means I have to turn on my male bashing mode...teehee...was it ever turned off? ahahahh...LOLOLOL...hehehe...ahaha...Lord, I'm funny!

smilin --

shortly after moving in with my hubby -- we went to Busch Gardens (like disney world but different ) and he bought me a little ring -- just a little pretty thing -- cheap -- but i still have that ring -- 26 yrs later -- and it means as much to me as the wedding ring i was married with -----

but not quite as much as the ring i wear -- a simple little band he bought me for valentines day 7 yrs ago --

SOOOOooo HAPPY dating -- for a lifetime

Lion, thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for dating your hubby. It's so great to hear about happily married couples!

The little ring stories reminds me of a plastic ring my son gave my mother when he was a little boy. SHe wore that thing like it was solid gold every time she saw him. Hmmm, I wonder if he remembers that. I bet not. Have to tell him that story!

let us know if he remembers --- my bet is that deep down it made a very big impact on him
