Our second week of dates was a decided success. For our “Fun Date” I poured a couple of glasses of wine, set aside a couple of squares of dessert (chocolate peanut butter pie) and lit a couple of candles. We took them out on the patio to enjoy one of the perfect summer nights Coloradans are blessed with. We drank our wine (maybe more than one glass), ate our dessert, held hands and talked.
I always love being able to have an actual conversation with Matt where no one is interrupting … it’s always a treat. I don’t know what we talked about, or how long we were out there, but we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
For our “work date” we re-organized our shelves in the garage. Matt had been wanting to tackle that particular project for a while and I don’t know why I’d been resisting (time, probably!) … I actually LIKE to organize, sick as that is. It is always cathartic to me to cull through boxes, get rid of stuff we don’t need and beautify a space. I love turning 5 boxes in to 3 or 2. The end-result of our organizing project is a much cleaner feeling garage. It still needs a bit of fine-tuning, but the vast majority is done.
More dates to see on Simply Modern Mom’s 52 Date Nights Project.
Love your fun date. I wouldn't love the work date but I would love to get the work done.
Your fun date sounds really nice and peaceful.
I love your work date idea. We're excepting our second child in less than two months and there's so much to do!
