Date Night

 Mark has been very busy with work lately. So we picked Tuesday night to be our date night. I wanted to do something active, but something fun as well. Also something that we've never tried before. So we loaded up Valerie's clubs and Mark's golf clubs, and went to Spanaway to hit a bucket of balls together. This was my first attempt at hitting a golf ball. It was surprisingly hard but I managed in the end to feel a bit more comfortable and the ball ended up further than just 2 feet in front of me. I've always thought that golf just isn't for me because of my big breasts ( hard to get a good swing) but it wasn't actually that hard, when I learned how to swing properly.  It was a lot of fun. After we went to The Ram for dinner. We sat in the bar and watched the end of the Mariners game and had good conversation that didn't revolve around our relationship or our inadequacies. I call that a success! I have so many insecurities that it's really hard for me to handle the whole date without questioning what he's thinking, what he's thinking of me, or how he's feeling. 

On another note Charlie found a huge bag of Legos that used to be Ethan's  and she has enjoyed putting different sets together. She does really well at following the directions, and has been having a blast. Pretty sure my dining room table is going to look like this for at least another month! The kids have done a fantastic job of staying busy, not screaming about how bored they are (last summer it was bad), and found ways to entertain themselves this summer. It makes it a lot easier on Mark and I to work and flip schedules like we do when the kids aren't complaining about being bored. We are all very excited about Silverwood in a week and a half and can't wait to spend some time with my brother, Kat and their kids!
