Kimmy couldn't help but be excited as she got ready for her date night with Brett. She just felt like it'd been so long since they'd had time to themselves, and she was glad to be able to have an evening just for the two of them. Of course, she loved when they got to spend family time together, too. There was just no words to describe the love she felt for her daughter, it wasn't something that could be explained to people who didn't have kids of their own, and they loved being all together whenever they could. Most of their evenings were spent in the living room, watching kids' shows or movies, reading books or just playing with Savannah on the floor. Then, there were the occasional outtings to the park, the store and other various places, not to mention play dates with Brett's brother and sister-in-law and their little daughter. Of course, Krissy was a bit older than Savannah was, but to the other girl, her new baby cousin was like a real life doll, and she loved caring for her. She was gentle and sweet with the toddler, and it was really adorable to watch the two little girls together.
Nonetheless, all that happy family time together didn't change the fact that, once in a while, she and Brett needed times for themselves. Especially with her working and his going to school - even in the summer, since he wanted to get his schooling done as soon as possible - which sometimes didn't make it easier, but tonight was one of those special nights where they would both be free to stay up until however late they wanted to, because he didn't have school the next day or any urgent school work to get done, and she didn't have work to go to for a whole week. Brett had driven off a little bit ago to go drop off Savannah at Daniel and Rebecca's, and she was currently waiting for him to come back, feeling pretty anxious. She'd gotten herself dressed up a little, put on some makeup and tried to do something with her hair - which she refused to let become "mom hair" - so that she might look nice for him. Date nights were rare to come around, even when, as far as she knew, they didn't have anything special planned, and she just wanted to do her best to make it perfect.
