Candlelight Couch Potatoes Dinner for two. As parents of a three year old, Andrea and I seldom get the opportunity to go out on our own. Long gone are the romantic evenings when she comes home from work and I’ve prepared a special dinner by candlelight for the two of us. I can’t even recall the last time we went away for a weekend at the beach by ourselves doing adult things.

Last night, we organized my parents taking Tristan overnight so we could meet up for dinner and an evening alone. I met Andrea downtown near where she was working. We went to a restaurant she’s been waiting to go to since it opened four months ago. We had a nice meal. An hour later, we were on the couch at home watching T.V. with our notebooks on our laps doing work.

It was 9:30 at night. Our son was gone for the night and we were watching TV like a couple of old people. We so rarely have time as a couple I guess we didn’t know what to do with ourselves. Ah, well it was still a nice night and we didn’t have to worry about him walking in on us in the middle of the night. Even if we were in bed by 10:30.
