i just had a fun conversation with a friend about how planning makes things special.
isn't it true?
you could be driving by sonic with your man and decide to swing in and grab a drink for each of you... ok, nice... OR you could PLAN to pick him up from work and grab a drink together for a short date and it is something SPECIAL! I love that! i think it has to do with the anticipation of the act!
all that to say, having small kids and celebrating the new year don't always go hand in hand. i don't believe that lance and i have done anything outside of our house for the new year in five years. this year we happen to have friends offer to watch our kiddos so that we can go on a date. it won't be anything fancy... quiet meal, discussing the new year, netflix movie at home, and a bottle of sparkling grape juice, but it will be EXCITING because it was planned!
so whether you are hoping to have a BIG MOMENT or a SMALL GESTURE...
the point is PLAN it and make it a SWEET MEMORY!
