Date 10/52 Does This Really Count as a Date? Chit Chat on the Couch

So, getting in date night has been more difficult than we anticipated. Often, our time together is at the end of our days when we're both so tired and wiped out that the best we can do is just smile and maybe watch some TV or read side by side.

But, we decided, we're not going to feel guilty if date night is much simpler than we expected it to be! Nope, I'm not going to count reading before we fall asleep as date night, but we decided last night that our criteria for date night has to be simpler. After all, we don't want this to be one more thing we feel guilty about!!

So, it's a date if:

• We have kid free time to connect
• It doesn't involve home repair or maintenance

Pretty easy, right?

So, last night, we spent two hours on the couch talking. I know this doesn't seem like much to many, but it was fun. We're so often multitasking, that solely concentrating on the conversation was really nice.

So, we've entered the double digits of Datedom. Here we go.
