A Year of Dates- Date 1

For our anniversary this year I planned a year of dates for Jon and I, two per month! Last night was our first one! I gave Jon this invitation the night before.

For this date we had to come up with an activity for every letter of the alphabet. There are a few variations of this date. You can alternate, where you choose the "A" activity for the other person to do, and then other person chooses the "B" activity for you to do, etc. Then you each get 3 passes. If you don't want to do what they suggested you can give a "pass." But be careful what activity you choose! If your partner uses one of their passes then you end up having to do it. Instead of this version, we just decided to make the list together and then each do the activity. Here's our list and some pictures of our night!

L- leap frog (so we tried playing leap frog and getting a picture with the timer on our camera. This was the best we got. Haha).

N- nap

R- ride a motorcycle (okay, I didn't get to ride it. So technically it's not an activity. And this pic was taken on Jon's phone which so did not turn out). 

S- slides!!!

U- under a bridge (we were cracking up at this picture. Jon looks like the biggest dorko).

V- vandalism (yes an actual spray paint can we had in the car. We even had to explain to a nearby police officer we were "just pretending" for a game) Haha. 

W- wink

So that was our first date night in our year of dates!

It was fun! You should give it a try with your special someone! 

Oh yeah, and I remember some readers asking for what kinds of dates I put in our date can. I'd be happy to share them with you if you leave a comment with your e-mail. I'm only posting them as we do them because they are all surprises for Jon. I don't want him to know ahead of time what we're doing.
