Life on a Journey: Moments

On Tuesday afternoon, we sold our scooter. I must admit, I was a little sad as I thought the scooter was so fun, especially on summer nights. I loved riding to downtown Franklin to walk around or riding to get some ice cream on a beautiful summer night. We enjoyed that little scooter for the time we had it :) However, we are working hard to pay off our debt right now, so we both agreed that selling the scooter would be a good step in that direction. However, my sadness quickly changed when Aaron asked me if I wanted to go out for date night that night. We decided to use a little bit of the money we just made to celebrate :) We went to our all time favorite Thai restaurant for dinner. I enjoyed some delicious pad thai and a good conversation with my sweet husband. It is always so refreshing to just sit down over some good food and catch up on life. It seems that the weeks get so busy, so I have learned to treasure these moments, these wonderful times in life to just slow down for a few minutes and enjoy each other. We have found it is foundational to our marriage to make time for moments like these. After dinner, we decided to check out this new restaurant/bar in Cool Springs, Drake's. It is one of my new favorite places! It has such a different vibe than anywhere in Franklin. Aaron and I both walked out of there and said it felt like we were in Chicago for the last hour. We will definitely be going back! I went to bed that night feeling so refreshed and so thankful for the moments :) Especially when those moments are spontaneous and come by surprise. It was just a Tuesday night, nothing special, except for the fact that I got to spend the evening with my man and for a few hours not think about anything else going on in our crazy lives. Thankful for moments...
