Dating Quarantine Style

Nate and I have a goal to have a date night together each month however, quarantine does not make that easy.   So we skipped the dinner out this month and instead brought a folding table up to our room and played games together.  The kids were happy to get a free night to do anything they wanted downstairs while Nate and I got to chat and connect.  One of the hardest parts of quarantine is actually finding a minute to be alone with my hubby.  There are so many deep and heavy things going on in my head but talking about them in front of the kids is not always appropriate, even if our kids are older.   Taking a few hours to talk together and laugh made me feel so much better about life.  I know that nothing changes when I talk but it feels so good to know someone understands how I feel and feels the same way too, in many cases.
