Date day - Michael's turn

So in the Team Oakley house hold, we know the importance of date days. Both Beka and Michael are very busy, and unless we schedule it out, we can go weeks without spending any real time together. So we switch on and off who plans the date. This particular date was Michael's turn to plan and execute. And as is the usual for his date days, it was raining, and it ruined his plans. :( That always seems to happen to him. But if there is anyone who can improvise, it is Mr. Michael Oakley. 

He took Beka to Kroger (the local grocery store) to get a yummy lunch, then to sonic for some drinks. And instead of a drink, Michael opted for some soft serve ice cream. 

Then Team Oakley went to a local park (where a picnic would have ensued, had it not been raining) and sat in the car, listening to the rain, and eating lunch together. 

Beka's lunch consited of some veggie sushi. It was very good, but a little hard to eat in the car. 

Michael chose a favorite of his for lunch...bread. He LOVES bread. He bought a huge baguette, and some chicken salad. Voila, the perfect Michael Oakley lunch. 

After our bellies were full, we sat in that car, at the park, in the rain, for a couple of hours, just talking. It was not very "exciting," but it was precious time that we do not get to enjoy very often. And if we were to cancel, and wait till better weather, we could both be 50 before anything happened. You have to be flexible, and you have to make the best out of what life gives you. 

Here is to date days, rainy days, and still being able to talk for hours, after years of marriage. 

Thanks for sharing in our little adventure!
