One of my current goals, on par with "keep the house clean" and "eat your vegetables" is to spend time on us as a couple. I give the other two examples because it's something I always know is a priority and it does happen most of the time, but it often slips when anything big is going on.
As we talk about the fact that we're starting a family, and that we're the process of aquiring these new identities as family members, more specifically as parents, I really do want to keep the spirit of what made our time together as "just us."
Last night, I met up with Arden after her shift ended, and we checked out the new Egypt exhibit at the Science Museum. It was not as significant as the big touring exhibits that have come through, but it was a lot of fun and had some good info. We wandered around, chatting together, then splitting up, and so on.
Not once did I wonder about where Bambin@ was.
As it was the kind of evening that would be very difficult to have post-partum, I think it was rather perfect.
