Hey First name / friend,
It's February! Are you kidding me? It's a short month, but one of the busiest. Personally, our lives are busy. The girls are both in the thick of basketball and cheerleading season, plus a side of speech and debate season.
Kurt and I working full-time while trying to carve out alone time monthly. That can be hard, but even in our early days, a monthly date was always a priority. I believe the secret to a long lasting marriage is to date your spouse. So often I see friends and family prioritize everything but each other. Not to say that Kurt and I have it figured out. (We can fight with the best of em') But, when our kids leave our home in just a few short years, we won't be left staring at a stranger. We'll be left alone with each other's best friend. And that's honestly kind of awesome, isn't it??
If you're not dating your spouse, let's start here in LOVERS month! It doesn't have to be fancy, extravagant, or costly! In fact, I'm sharing one of my favorite recipes below (I swore I'd never) and I can't think of a better Valentine's Meal at home than this one! Add a side of steak, top it with pulled pork (that's our fave) or honestly, just eat it straight out of the pot. We don't judge around here.
Happy Lovers Month, friends!
