This past weekend, Tim and I spent time together. Wait, what? I thought you were married! We are! But you'd be surprised how many nights we get home from work and Tim spends the evening playing video games with his friends on mic while I spend it watching TV/browsing the internet. There was one night I counted, and we seriously said like two sentences to each other. Neither Tim or (nor?) I signed up for that! It was seriously getting to the point where I didn't realize why I was getting so frustrated with life in general; when I finally realized I was missing talking with my husband, all those frustrations made sense. Spending time sitting next to each other on the couch is NOT spending time with each other. I mean date time! Sounds lame, but communication really is key to a good and healthy relationship.

We had originally planned on going away for the entire weekend; but when hotel rooms cost $150+, you rethink. We spent all of last Friday together in Traverse City and then Saturday and Sunday at home.

Thursday night we went with a group of friends to a special screening of Jurassic World-I absolutely loved it! Tim thought it was cheesy, but I thought it was great :) The worst part though, was right when we walked out of the theatre, a friend of ours from high school that we haven't seen in 10 years came up to us and wanted to start talking! Now, I'm sorry, but not only had I run a few miles prior to going to the theatre (thank God I showered!) and wasn't wearing any makeup and just felt gross and kept telling my face to not get red because it likes to do that from time to time AND because it's just plain awkward seeing someone after that long (I hate small talk!), but I have the hardest time talking with someone (even Tim!) right after watching a movie. I like to take 10-15 minutes just thinking about the movie to myself and then talk. Our friend really threw me for a loop. Moving on.

Friday we took our time getting ready-we got up to Traverse around 3pm, had a consultation with a tattoo artist at 4 (Tim is getting a full sleeve of old video games! It's going to be awesome! And.....I'm getting one of our cat....and a blow dryer...I'll explain the story later when I actually get it haha), went to the mall, then went out for dinner at our favorite restaurant, Bubba's.

They seriously have the best food ever. And they have a tiny area in the back that's a bit more cozy for date night-it was perfect. They even started playing one of Dave Matthews Band's live cds before we left, which required us to listen to the whole cd on the way home :) It got us super excited for their concert NEXT MONTH!!! Wait, I'm sorry, 3 WEEKS!!!

Saturday we went for about an hour walk on the beach. We had it completely to ourselves :)

 Those are definitely not the most appealing water photos, but it was so pretty in person :) After our walk, we went to Meijer and bought a bunch of junk food, then went home and watched Jurassic Park I & II and ate said junk food. Then drank about 5 cups of water because we both felt disgusting after eating so much crap. Ugh.

It was such a nice weekend, not only because we actually got out of the house, but because we spent time together. We talked. We laughed. 

And what are we doing tonight? Well, Tim's playing video games with his friends, and I'm on my computer. Guess we'll have to go on another date.
