MORE THAN CHEESE & CRACKERS

submitted by: Dave Hewitt

Raising a toddler can really put a damper on your love life.  There never is enough time for just the two of you.  One evening, my wife and I shared crackers and cheese.  It brought back fond memories of when we were first married and how we a considerable amount of time enjoying each others company.

I suggested that we enjoy cheese and crackers every week, but my wife reminded me that our waist lines did not need the extra calories.  We then agreed that Tuesday night would be our date night.  We would spend a romantic hour together every week after our daughter went to bed.  We take turns choosing the activity and it is always the high point of the week.  Since that day, we have engaged in many interesting pursuits.  We have listened to a Mauice Chevalier CD, looked at a book of paintings from the Louvers, enjoyed cheese and crackers, talked about our childhood, and spent an enjoyable hours together.
