Romance is not dead

Gas for date night: $7, dinner for two: $23, Sunset on Siesta Beach: PRICELESS. 

I ♥ U!

Tonight for our five month anniversary Kris and I enjoyed a nice romantic date night. We had dinner at Applebee's and stuffed ourselves up to our eyeballs with Fiesta Lime Chicken and Provolone Stuffed Meatballs and Fettuccine. Then we drove down to Siesta Beach to watch the sunset. I was surprised to find out that in the 4 years Kris has been living here, he had never been to Siesta Beach. It was so beautiful. The sand was soft like powder. The water was warm. It was not too crowded. It was not too hot. We both even donned our swimwear which we have not done in nearly 10 years. 

It was such a nice relaxing evening with the love of my life. We enjoyed each others company and found sometime to just sit back and relax together. I think we need to do this more often. We live 30 minutes away from one of the most beautiful beaches. We really ought to take the opportunity to enjoy evening sunsets on the beach more often.


For a few hours, it was like no one else existed. It was just Kris and me. I did not even bring my phone and his did not ring the whole time we were out. It was nice to have a date night without any distractions or interruptions. It was a great way to celebrate this month's milestone.
