Your Love from Afar Challenge: Week 3

(We are a few days behind, but better late than never, right guys?)

Monday- What do you do for date nights?

When you are together, what are your favorite date night spots?

When you are apart what do you do for dates?

When we were together, we did lots of things for date nights! We watched movies either at home or at the cinema. We played games on the Wii or our 3DS consoles. We loved to try new restaurants wherever we were and to take a nice stroll afterwards. We also loved to have day dates when we would do some sightseeing (especially in London and DC) or when we would have breakfast out during the weekend. Whatever it was, we were just happy to do it together. 🙂

Our top 3 date night spots so far are:

1. Mud Crab Cafe in Manchester, UK
2. Gourmet Burger Kitchen in Canary Wharf, London
3. Brew Dog in Manchester, UK

We haven’t totally mastered the date-while-apart thing yet, but any suggestions are welcome! 

PS Do Skype dates count?

Your Love from Afar Challenge: Week 2

Wednesday- What role does music play in your relationship? Do you feel like it brings you together? What are some things you both do together that involve music?

At the beginning of our relationship, we used music to share feelings we were a bit too scared to voice ourselves. One time, we spent the whole night playing music to each other. We each took turns choosing songs that expressed how we felt about each other. When Richard played me Travis’ “Flowers in the Window,” I knew we were something special.

As our relationship grew, listening to music became something we both liked to do when we were hanging out after dinner or doing chores around our flat/apartment. Music has definitely played a part in bringing us together, especially when we reminisce about our time together. We often listen to a song on our way to work or on our drives here and there, and it brings back a beautiful memory and of course, we have to text each other! Music is something that we really treasure. 🙂
