Date Your Wife: Celebrate & Splurge

The Date: Most of you have probably heard by now, but we got some good news this week about Baby #2 and the pregnancy! So for our date this week we will splurge and celebrate! I think its important every few months or so, to spend a little more money, and do something a little bigger than you normally would have.  It also helps that today is one of two very special days of the year, bonus AND pay day!

The specific details of the date are as follows - dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, and a Movie (and since we're splurging we'll buy drinks and popcorn!).  I know this sounds like a pretty standard date for some, but for us it is exciting and a special treat.  We will get to have good conversation (baby names?) and get to relax and watch a movie together.  I'm really looking forward to it.

The Challenge: Next time you get good news, achieve a personal goal, or anything you can use as an excuse, go out and celebrate and splurge a little! We need to be able reward ourselves and celebrate these little moments in our life! The point of this week's Date Your Wife post is not the dinner and a movie, but rather the idea of celebrating the little things and splurging once in a while! ...Whatever you decide to do, just make sure that you date your wife! Let me know your date plans for this weekend in the comments!

The Cost: Dinner: $30; Movie (with coupon and snacks): $25 Quality time spent with my wife: Priceless! (couldn't resist that one).
