Thursday evening we decided to have a date night. Just like many married couples, we swore we wouldn’t let life get in the way of things and keep us from spending time together. But not surprisingly we’ve fallen prey to that same fate. What I can say is that having a date night made me realize how incredibly important they are for the health of our marriage! We concluded the evening with the new goal to try to do this at least once a month, if not more! Our date night consisted of dinner at Peel in Edwardsville. If you live in the area and haven’t tried it, it is a must! We had a few beers on draft, ate some delicious prosciutto involtini, split a house salad and a Ricotta pizza that is to die for! After the pizza we went and saw the movie Life as We know it. It was actually more serious than I anticipated, but don’t get me wrong, we laughed out loud A LOT! So it’s another pick I’d recommend. We had a great time and I enjoyed a chance to talk to my hubby for a few hours without interruption!
Something else we’ve been short on is family time. So we decided Friday to take ourselves on a fall family adventure. Our adventure took us across both the Brussels and Golden Eagle Ferries to historic St. Charles. We had lunch, enjoyed a little shopping and the beautiful weather. Then on our trek back across the ferries we hit a Roadside Market for pumpkins! I love these photos. A day worth remembering forever.
