48 Things To Do With Your Spouse
Last night Ralexwin and I took some time to make a list of things to do together sans kids. We sat down and quickly brainstormed idea's, then went through and nixed the things that one or the other wasn't willing to do.
Here's our pre-nixing list. (Ralexwin is red, I'm black)
Note: We got into a bit of an 'argument' between 21-24.
33. Finish our journal with memories
36. Make a declaration of love
45. Go garage sale-ing
48. Go on a double date
So Ralexwin rolled his eyes at #'s 26, 32 and 36 and cringed at #16. I rolled my eyes at #'s 11 and 37 and cringed at 17 (only because it hurts my brain... okay!). For the most part, however, we agreed that the list sounded fun. We did nix the declaration of love and the portraits of each other, as well as anything remotely chore-like. We kept scripture memorization because, really, who crosses that off a list?
Oh, and we're not going to attempt book binding or Chinese.

Closets aside, I liked your idea of lying on a blanket and staring at the stars. While looking at the stars...you could surprise your husband with some poetry by torchlight and a flask of hot chocolate and cookies...get three in one! ;)
You both really had a lot of fun ideas! :o)
Blessings & Aloha!
thank you so much for stopping by!
