I love TJ, but he's not always the best at coming up with stuff for us to do when I visit him. I told him that I want to have an adventure when I visit this coming weekend, but he just asked me what I wanted to do. I get a little frustrated with his lack of creativity sometimes. It's not really fair to him for me to get annoyed with that so....I made him a date jar. I had seen them on Pinterest before but hadn't given it much serious thought until now. I decided to help relieve my frustration and to help him with coming up with dates, the date jar was a great idea.
That's why I cleaned out that candle jar. I wrote a bunch of date ideas on a couple of pieces of notebook paper. I put things that we both like to do like bowling, dinner and a movie, and playing board games. I put things just for me, such as for him to cook me dinner and eating by candlelight and going out to a play. Some of my just for TJ ideas were playing Xbox together and going to the driving range. There were stay at home ideas, going out ideas, outdoors ideas, free, cheap and a little more expensive ideas.
Just to full up space and show him how I feel about him, I also included little notes for TJ. "I love you." "You're amazing." The normal stuff we say to each other but I thought would be fun for him to find in his new jar!
I hope our date jar helps us both with our dates and bringing us more fun.
P.S. Some of my favorite ideas were:
- Go out to a restaurant we've never tried
- Cuddle for an Hour
- Hot Tub by candlelight
- go to a store and try on silly clothes that we pick for each other
- DIY photo shoot
- Go to a bar and try beers we've never had
