#1- I think I would enjoy summer more if it was only 1-2 months long. I am a complete fall girl. I am already getting so excited over sweaters/scarfs/boots... not to mention the yummy scents of fall, give me a pumpkin spice candle any day over anything tropical. Also Halloween, my birthday, thanksgiving and Christmas! I think the main reason I love the fall and the holidays so much is because they are full of family activities. I love the weather... rain, cloudy days, snow... Dont get me wrong, I do love summer. I love going up the canyon, BBQs, 4th of July... but I dont feel like I get to enjoy it that much anymore with work/life. I come home from work at night and I just want to relax because I just have to repeat the whole day over again the next morning. The last thing I want to do is take off and go do some summer activity. Summer was much better when I had a 3 month break from school with nothing to do... I think I will enjoy it more when kids come around and I spend my summer days at the pool with them.
#2- NO ONE BLOGS ANYMORE! Myself included. My excuse is that I dont have a computer at home... Mitch and I decided about a year ago that we didnt have a need for our laptop anymore... We have our iphones and spend the whole day on the computer while at work. Now, let me correct myself. We do have a computer, for Mitch to do homework on... but its in our 2nd bedroom which we spend 0 time in and its as slow as a turtle, so I would never blog on it. However, since getting rid of our laptop my blogging has gone down hill dramatically. The only time I can blog is while Im at my parents house, which is the last thing I want to be doing while I am there.. Its been a nice year of not being distracted by the laptop while at home, but I wont lie... I am missing it and blogging.
#3- Im missing the spark of dating. Dont get me wrong, I dont want to go back to the dating lifestyle. I love being married more than anything. Its so wonderful to have Mitch to come home to every night, I dont even remember what its like to have to arrange where we are meeting/what we are doing/keeping track of curfew. But all the rumors are true, once your married the excitement of everything kind of goes away.. You get into your normal routine.. life happens. You have bills, work, church callings, a house to clean and meals to cook. Not to mention grocery shopping, car repairs, and a mortgage to pay. How do you keep the excitement in your marriage??

Wait until you have a baby...then you realllly miss the spark of dating. Haha. But seriously- especially if you're crazy like me and can't leave your child for more than an hour :)
#1...I can't agree with you on this one, I love summer wayyy too much!
#2...I can totally understand this, I try and try to blog more but its just not in my schedule lately haha. We gotta get better at this!
#3...I agree! Ben and I try to do things we don't usually do all the time to change it up and that helps that a ton! So maybe when we move we should plan fun date nights? I think yes!!
#1 your nuts. summer is where it is at. Summer is what keeps me sane. Haha I could use 6 months of summer!
#2 I ran out of things to blog about...so I'm thinkin that means I need a baby? lol
#3 I feel ya! Especially since I work with a bunch of single ladies...all the parties and social life goes away. For them working til 10 is like no biggie since there night is just getting started. Its true, married people are boring!
I love this. I must say I agree with all of them. I feel like with blogging that I only truly speak my mind in my journal. So a lot of blogging is to keep others updated, and when I get no comments I feel like I'm writing to myself. Haha. And dating...yes. Especially when cutesy things like asking him creatively on a date aren't quite so cute to my husband. Ha. And I love fall. I love summer quite a bit too, but I love the holidays and yummy smells of the fall.
I was thinking about the spark of dating recently too. I guess this is why girls love chick flicks so much. Anyway, Dan and I never plan date nights. We would always go out, but never planned special nights, so we try and plan a special outing every once in awhile.
Find ways to spice life up :) Here is one of my favorite blogs to help with that - they have a bunch of great ideas: http://www.thedatingdivas.com/
