We've made the goal to go on more dates! I will actually say that we've gotten pretty good at having home dates and setting apart at least one night a week to focus on each other and do something unique or fun that isn't netflix or housework or something. But we also have the goal of an out-of-the house date twice a month. One of those being a temple date. Thankfully we have a found a super responsible 15 year old boy that is great with our boys and the boys love him so dating has been a bit easier recently! Anyway, the other day (okay like, well over a month ago) we had plans to go to dinner than the temple, at the last minute we decided to go get my ears re-pierced instead of dinner before we went to the temple. Apparently I stopped wearing earrings when Edwin was born and my ear holes of 30+ years grew in. I ended up getting my ears pierced at Claires where all the preteens get their ears pierced. Worth it! Then we realized we needed to eat quick so we grabbed something from the food court. We rushed to the temple to make it in time for an 8 o clock endowment session, only to find out that we were late and on Friday nights, the latest endowment session starts at 7:30. But we still had time to rush in and participate in the sealing ordinance. They needed another couple to come and help them complete some ordinances and we arrived just in time. During the sealing ordinance I was thinking of my green Grandma the entire time, she was nearing her 94th birthday and her husband had passed away nearly 30 years ago. I thought of what a joyous occasion it would be for them to be sealed in the eternities after death and how much my grandma must miss my grandpa. About 27 hours after this, my green grandma passed away, and we have plans to do her temple work next summer. Anyway, it was a peaceful date and we were where we needed to be.
So naturally we take awkward selfies outside the temple.
Welcome back to the land of pierced ears. That's super cool that you had that thought about your grandma there.
