So summer is in full force. The heat is oppressive, the storms are frequent and life gets exponentially more complex. My wife and I made a promise for the month of July; a break, no out of town guests, no extravagant plans (minus our 1 year anniversary), and a simpler life, where we can enjoy the summer, together, in peace. So as we are nearing the end of the month lets take a look back and see how we fared.
July 3-5- not only did we do something every night that weekend (other then Monday) we didn't do much of it together. Red, White, and Boom, a regretted trip to a class reunion of a school I didn't attend, way too much drinking, and poor meal decisions. Basically we woke up Tuesday hating ourselves.
July 10-11- This was really the most relaxed weekend of the month. There was Shakespeare in the Park, some time with the GV crowd and dinner with other friends, Friday, but overall there was no prolonged binge drinking.
July 17-18- Happy One year wife, Friday was a happy hour night, Saturday was a delightful Dinner and Movie, just the two of us, and Sunday was spent at church and not much more.
So, now that our month has been thoroughly divested, I can look back and say although we haven't really simplified our lives much, we did get to enjoy each other, our friends, and life in general. I look forward to the next 2 weekends, eager for more relaxation, because August is going to be crazy.
Yeah that was boring..
