I was going to take him out to dinner (to a real restaurant where we actually sit down and someone waits on us, which we never do) and while we were there I had this fun activity for us that would allow us to kind of remember all of the fun things in our relationship. Then I wanted to take him to our lookout spot to sit and talk, and then finally back home to cuddle and watch a movie (we don't spend money on movie theaters unless it's the Garland. I know we are so cheap).
It sounded like it was going to be a fantastically romantic night! Well, this is what happened instead. 5:30 rolls around and I am sitting on the couch waiting for Brett to come home. He calls and tells me he has to take care of some stuff for the Bishop (he is out of town for 3 weeks). So I wait a little longer...and longer...and longer. Finally, Brett comes home about 7:00. He picks me up and we get to run a couple more errands to do church stuff. Finally, around 7:30 we are done and headed to dinner! Yes, our romantic date can start. Except guess what is on Brett's mind the whole night... this issue he had to help Bishop with. He was on the phone the whole ride to the restaurant, and a little while we were in the restaurant. Did I break down a little bit in the restaurant...YES! I wasn't trying to be selfish, but I just wanted one romantic date with my husband.
Well I just have realized that our life is just nor meant for romance right now! Where is Brett while I am writing this post on what is supposed to be our romantic night together....Taking care of more church stuff.
The bottom line is.........I NEVER want Brett to be a bishop!

I am so sorry. You can take me. Joel was gone all night on our Friday night too. At least he fulfills his callings. We need to get together soon.
So sorry Steph..just think of the blessings you will recieve tho. Hang in there...there will be plenty of times for dinner!
haha this story made me remember our quote board in suite 8 and your romance quote! let's face it, marriage is not a fairy tale but it's still awesome! love ya
Steph I hope you know when you don't want your husband to have a calling he usually gets it!! If it makes you feel better our date nights consist of watching a movie or TV and me falling asleep!! Sometimes it sucks!! Love ya!!
OH My!!! I think there needs to have a balance between church and home life. YOU are just as important and other stuff and should be a priority too, especially when you guys don't get alot of alone time very often. Sorry it didn't work out. Hopefully Brett will make it up to you. Hang in there.
**Hugs**
Hey Steph.... it's me Sommer Moon! I just read your post and totally remember those days when Lindsay was in that position. I feel for you, but remember you are being blessed through his service. It doesn't take away the desire to spend time with him though. Hope you are all well!
I feel ya Steph! Andrew and I aren't even living in the same town right now. No romance for us either :( It'll happen though.
