Monday was the BF's birthday (the big 2-7), so over the weekend I took him up to the north Georgia mountains for some of his favorite activity: hiking.
We drove up Saturday, leaving Macon at 7 a.m. We stopped at Vogel State Park and visited a few waterfalls, including Duke's Creek Falls and Anna Ruby Falls. We also stopped in Helen and went tubing down the river (which was a bad idea in a drought, btw, don't do it) before heading to a bed and breakfast near Dahlonega for the night.
The next day, we hiked down Tallulah Gorge, which was no easy feat, especially for an indoors person like me who does not really enjoy hiking. The reward -- a breathtaking view of the gorge and a dip in a swimming hole -- however, was worth it. Even more fulfilling than the view, though, was that the whole journey gave us time to rekindle the intangible: the romance in our relationship.
Sometimes we get so caught up in our day-to-day activities that we forget to appreciate the person we are with. When the BF and I meandered through the woods just the two of us, we had time to talk about all the things that get lost in our everyday conversations about work, cooking dinner and what we're going to do over the weekend. It also re-injected trust into the relationship, sort of like those Outward Bound trips where you practice team building activities. The BF and I built our own little team.
What are some things you do to rekindle the romance in your relationships?

Rekindling the romance?.......doing anything without the t.v. turned on.
You can rekindle your romance in two ways:
1. The Occasional Strategy:
Get all dolled up because the daily grind tends to bury the person he once fell for.
A home-cooked meal should follow, served on a candle-lit table with a bouquet of roses.
Next, consider playing a Scrabble game if he's the intellectual type or a video game if he is the chill type of guy.
Creating Love-related words on the Scrabble board would be hints that are warm enough to send shivers down his spine. Expect lots of cuddling to happen after that. ;)
2. The Daily Strategy:
I know you two are busy but hectic schedules shouldn't steal the romance out of your relationship. So, call him from time to time to say you just wanted to hear his voice, NOT to complain about something!
If you have to leave to work before he does, make sure to leave him a post-it glued on the bathroom mirror. Apply lipstick, kiss the post-it, then write something like "My lips refused to leave without being kissed by you!"
If your lipstick is too expensive, write him a little note and place it right in front of his eyes. Be sassy yet soft ;)
Last but not least, consider taking baths together at night. Just lay between his thighs, in the bubble bath, in perfect silence. Your body will do all the talking. ;-)
