After church last night, Steve and I dropped Amaya off at her Grandma and Grandpa Horning's house so that Steve and I could spend some quiet time together. Trying to carve out time for just the two of us is a little challenging especially on a tight budget, but has become a high priority for us this year.
We headed over to Starbucks since we had a couple of gift cards. In hindsight, I should have ordered a little differently since my highly caffeinated grande coffee kept me up until the wee morning hours. Then, we headed out to the mall to walk and window-shop. I refrained from going into any kids clothing stores despite the great sale at Gymborree! We finished up the night at Barnes and Noble browsing through the books and magazines. It was a quiet, relaxing, and FREE night and we both had fun reconnecting after a busy week. We're hoping to make this a weekly event and even better, Amaya gets to have the time of her life with her grandparents!
