Movie Date Night

The hubs and I are pretty low-key. We love a date night on the couch with some popcorn and a movie. So in the spirit of one of our favorite date nights I put together a movie night care package!

You can't see the box that well, but I kept it pretty simple. "Admit One" ticket, a bag of popcorn next to the popular popcorn bucket and the "theme title"  that just says "Movie Date" (ran out of room, but I was going for "Movie Date Night" NBD).
I got a popcorn box and stacked some boxed candy in the bottom, then added popcorn, MilkDuds, his favorite popcorn flavoring and a movie inside. I got a couple of movies that I've seen lately that I thought he would enjoy- Contagion and Forever Strong. I also included SNL's Will Farrel DVD because I'm always quoting it! (Just a fun little reminder of me:) I popped some popcorn and put it in a bag and wrapped a book I bought for him.

A girlfriend of mine told me about a book that her soldier is reading while deployed. It's one of those personal growth books and it mostly pertains to growing in your marriage and family. Well, Andy and I don't have a family, but I thought, "What a good idea!" We are spending all of this time apart, which kind of puts our marriage at somewhat of a "stand-still". We're always growing, always evolving and changing, but right now we're doing this as individuals more than we are as a couple. So I thought this was a great opportunity for us to both read this kind of book. It's a great time for us to evaluate what we, as individuals, are bringing to our marriage and learn how to get more out of our strengths and attributes as a couple. Plus I think it will keep us bonded and connected while he's away. We each have a copy, so I look forward to what this will bring to us when he gets home:)

Thanks for reading!
