I just finished my little Date Night Project!-(in attempt to eliminate some of the "what should we do tonight?" nights. ;) I typed and printed out these different lists of date night ideas, then pasted each catagory to a different color cardstock. Made a key for the front of an envelope and stuck them all inside (see above pics). Pat and I like to take turns planning date night and usually surprising the other, it makes it more exciting for us. Anyway, so I thought I'd share some of the ideas we came up with. And though some of these may seem kinda silly, they make for great memories and "look back and laugh" moments.
