Giving Thanks - Day 4

I am thankful for adult time.  Last night I had such a good time, with just adults!  Every so often, Troy and I try to go out on dinner/movie dates, but last night we went out with two other couples - Nicole and Mark, and Val and Derek.  All of us have kids, so we were thankful our in-laws were available to watch our kids, so we could go out for an awesome dinner and drinks/bar-hopping afterwards.

We all love our kids dearly, but having fun with friends is important too.  I am thankful that Troy and I are able to have our adult time - both together and on our own (since all of our hobbies are not similar!).  We recognize the need to spend meaningful time as a family, yet also know how important it is to do fun adult things too - do things that make us happy, for ourselves.

A couple pictures from our evening:

Our first round of drinks at Los Galanes in Mexicantown.

Enjoying a drink and watching the guys play pool at Centaur.

I definitely hope we have more evenings like that in the near future!

I also look forward to adult time with my mom and Nicole, next weekend to scrapbook, and I know that Troy is looking forward to November 15th when he heads up north for deer hunting with some friends.
