Breakfast and Books

We are lucky that Dave works from home twice a week. We are really lucky that the kids are in school at the same time on those days. That let's us have some quality alone time and have an outside of the house date if we want.

This week I made breakfast for us. We had yummy egg scrambles. We then went to the library to return books and get some new ones. Dave got books on playing guitar. He just started taking lessons. I got some books on the South Beach Diet. I tried to explain what a carbohydrate is to Dave. A man with a good metabolism can not seem to comprehend not eating carbs. I also got The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I can't wait to read it.

While this is a sorta mundane date, it was also good. We had time to really look for books in the library without children begging to go play at the train table. We got to discuss books and interests. We also got to just relax while we ate breakfast. The whole point of dating your spouse is to stay connected. I think we are doing that pretty well.

This was date 49 out 52 for us.

One of my husbands and my favorite dates is wandering around the bookstore. We may even go separate ways in the store, but when we meet up again we have plenty to talk about over coffee.
