Our first one wasn't really suppose to be a date. We were not in a good place in our relationship. In fact, we had recently decided to go our separate ways. He just came back from spending most of the year in a different country. We were going to meet at my favorite store in the mall, which is already romantic on its own, but meeting there was even more so.
We had a awkwardly great time that day and it started a little something.

We got back together.
And we continued having Monday day dates while he was here. I loved them. When every one else was working or doing usual Monday things we were on a date. It brought us closer. It was so special to me.
He left to go on another adventure in a far away land now. Sad face.
Monday's make me miss him a little more but every Monday that passes I know that he is closer to coming home to me.
Traditions like a Monday date are so good to have in a relationship, but I can just imagine that you miss them extra when he's not around!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, I love this tradition :) And that first picture made me melt a lot. So sweet. It's important in any relationship to find time for one another and it's great that you both put the effort forward.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I have completely different schedules, which sucks a lot. I work 9-5; he works 2-10pm. We try to make date nights whenever possible, but reading this post made me realize that it's really something that we need to make more of a priority in the New Year.
Thanks for this. Wishing you and yours a very happy and healthy 2014!
