My husband and I don’t get out much alone. Truthfully, we basically have to call in the troops if we want to go out — anywhere. Those troops usually consist of my parents, my in-laws (that we’ve been known to fly in), our sisters and my brothers. Putting it lightly, it’s not always easy and/or doable. But this past Tuesday night was different. I needed to be in NYC with Colleen Padilla for our Digital Mom Handbook seminar, and so… my mother suggested that Matt come with me and enjoy a night in NYC together.

Um, yeah… we JUMPED at the chance. I don’t even think I gave my mother a second to re-think her offer.

And so, after the webinar on Tuesday night, we met up with 2 of our close friends and had a late dinner (9PM) and drinks. It was wonderful!

Around 11:30PM we hailed a cab to bring us back to the hotel and we had a blast going through Times Square… and, of course — I snapped some photos!

But truly… just being together — alone — it was a lot of fun. It kind of felt like we were dating all over again. Something we both need to make sure we do a heck of a lot more often!

My favorite reason?

WE talked about US for the first time in a long time! It was great checking in on US and laughing and really looking in each other’s eyes.

So needed… !
