As Christmas wrapped up and we rolled into the New Year I began receiving comments and e-mails from women who had taken my idea and put together a Year of Dates gift for their spouses. Love!! This is just so awesome! I've loved clicking over to their blogs to see their own spin & take on the idea. But more so, to see what date ideas they came up with!
Our Year of Dates (2011) has ended, and it was fantastic, but our need for regular dates has not come to an end. It was actually quite funny (and pitiful) when we went on our first date this year that was not pre-planned. He asked me, "What do you want to do?" and I replied, "I don't know, what do you want to do?" And there we sat, totally and utterly stumped. Ack!! :)
So I had an idea.
On the first of the month I'd like to host a link-up party for date ideas! A place for you to share your ideas & creativity. A way to gather ideas for future date nights. But most of all, I'm seeing this as a great opportunity to create accountability . . . . I need to make sure our dates actually happen and don't get forgotten!
You can read about our January date here. We spent it in Vegas and had a fabulous sushi dinner with an amazing view of the Bellagio fountains. Then we finished the evening with at stop at Serendipity 3 for their famous Frrrozen Hot Chocolate.
******************************
Here's how it goes:
1. Go on a date with your husband. Easy, right? And post a wrap-up on your blog. This is for anyone . . . whether you put together a Year of Dates gift or not.
2. On the first of the month, come here and submit a link to your blog post. Not your blog
3. If you'd like, link back to my blog with a text link or grab my button below (although, it has been having some technical difficulties. Extra points for you if you can get it to work!).
4. Lastly, have fun and visit each other!

We'll see how this goes! A little nervous because this is my first attempt at a linky party. I hope someone shows up! :) If things go well we'll do it again next month!
