The Lamest Dates

While staying with the in-laws, we made a late night run to work on our house.

It mirrored the never-ending house remodel where we would leave our toddler to spend a day renovating that place.

For a few years, those were our only moments as a couple.

Finishing the remodel, adding another baby, and hiding from a pandemic conspired to eliminate even these sneaky dates for the last few years.

So trimming bushes and moving stuff around around the garage became an exciting excursion.

Romance strikes at the oddest moment, a nostalgic visit upon a past worn path.
