J and I had talked a while back about trying to spend more quality time together. We're home a lot together, but he's often watching TV or playing a video game and I'm on the computer or doing some crafting. So last weekend we went out to Gimli which is a little resort town about an hour away. They have a great special in the winter where you get your room, a supper and a breakfast for $100. So we booked that and headed out after J finished work on Saturday. When we got there we discovered that there was a hockey tournament on and that there were about 100 10 year olds running around the hotel (don't even get me started on the behavior of those kids - and the absence of their parents!!). The receptionist took one look at our faces and looked at her computer...and upgraded us to a suite in a quiet part of the hotel. It was wonderful! It was brand new, so was just big and beautiful...and so relaxing. And had a jacuzzi tub! (I'm a sucker for a good bath!) So it made for a good weekend.
This past weekend, we decided to poke around some second hand bookstores then go for supper and to a movie. I found some great books...not that I have room to store them! We went and saw Av.a.tar which was great. It was nice just spending the time together without other distractions. It made me realize how important time like that is. I mean, we have a pretty good, solid relationship, but especially when you're going through IF I think it's so easy to just get caught up in your own little worlds and not really talk. Well, I shouldn't generalize. It's easy for me. I tend to keep things inside and process things in my head instead of actually talking them out. Not a good thing when you're married. But anyways....it was really nice and I'm so glad that we were able to take the time. Now to plan something for this coming weekend!
Date nights are so important! We even had date breakfast the other day. I need it...even if we're not talking about anything important...just the funniest movie we've seen or something funny that happened the other day. I think with infertility, it's so easy to disconnect from your partner. I've really felt that way as we've jumped into IVF. I miss intimacy. It's important to not loose that...but the How is much harder. Good luck on all fronts! Take care!
ReplyDeleteOooh that sounds wonderful! Glad you had a good time and spent some time together :) Definitely important!
ReplyDelete$100 bucks for all that sounds awesome! And a big tub.. heaven.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a nice time. It sounds very relaxing. My hubby and I are the same way. We are both in the same room but doing different things.
ReplyDeleteBoth sound like fun. I'm glad you've enjoyed some together time and hope that this coming weekend brings more fun.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great weekend! Way to get an upgrade!! I'm jealous of that jacuzzi tub!
