Because life has been so crazy recently, Dan and I have been in need of a night out together. So Friday night was date night and we were both looking forward to it all week. While I was getting ready I was reflecting on all of our date nights when we were dating in college. I remembered how I would be in my dorm room and I would spend an hour or more getting ready by showering, drying and curling my hair, picking out a nice outfit and putting on make-up and jewelry. I would listen to fun music and my friends and I would sing and hang out while I waited for Dan to come pick me up.




Whether it was a formal, Irish fest or just going out to dinner and a movie, it was always a fun date night.

Now life is different, but a very wonderful different. On Friday I waited until around 4 p.m. to go shower and I had plans of taking my time to dry and curl my hair and get all "pretty" for my night out with my husband. Well as you can see my plans were a little different. Here I am drying my hair, sitting on the floor with my hand on the outlet, letting Kolbe crawl all over me, and Emma squeezing my arm while trying to dry her hair too. Very different from my college days....





But needless to say, I was still able to get all "pretty" and Dan and I had a wonderful dinner out. We left at 5:30 and were back by 7... we are crazy-fun these days!



Thank you Lord for my beautiful children and for my amazing (and very good-looking, I might add) husband!

So it is a Saturday night, the kids are bathed, in their pjs and are quietly playing before bedtime. Dan is playing the guitar which provides beautiful background music for the evening. I thought it would be a perfect moment to blog...since I haven't thought about it for a long time...oh, here comes Kolbe, my blogging moment is over...

Ok, It is now Sunday morning, I am going to try this again.

Life in the Johnson household has been very busy the last few months. Along with his job at the high school, Dan is working part time as the youth minister at our parish, we are busy with Emma and Kolbe, and now we are moving... Yes, we have our house on the market and are moving to a new house walking distance from our parish and less than ten minutes from Dan's work. We are going to be renovating the house over the next few months and we are praying that during that time our current house will sell. St Joseph, pray for us!!

In the midst of all of this craziness I hope to keep the blog updated with what is going on. I don't have the best blogging history, so we will see how this goes. :)
