Projects, Fair Lights & a Date to Look Forward To

What we did

This FriYay is starting out pretty quiet.

I’m heading into The Hound for a few hours tonight while Bethany spends the evening hanging out with her kids. Nothing elaborate, and after some of the adventures we’ve had lately, a simple Friday actually sounds pretty good.

Saturday is project day for both of us.

I’ll be doing some landscaping work at The Hound while Bethany tackles a few projects around the house with the kids. Later, I’ll head over to her place and we’ll take on the garage together: cleaning everything out, organizing it, putting down rubber matting and turning it into a space that actually feels finished.

Because apparently organizing a garage together counts as romance now.

And honestly, I’m kind of here for it.

What we’re looking forward to

Saturday night we’re trading work gloves for fair lights.

Bethany, the kids, a few of their friends and I are heading to the big fair here in Asheville. Rides, lights, fair food, kids running around and probably a little chaos. It should be a lot of fun.

Sunday is intentionally almost empty.

No big plans. Just hanging out, slowing down and recharging after a busy Saturday.

And then we have one more thing waiting for us: Monday night date night.

Just me and Bethany. We don’t need anything particularly elaborate planned. After a weekend filled with work, projects, kids and friends, I’m looking forward to having a little time that’s just ours.

It’s a pretty good mix when you think about it.

Work. Family. Projects. Fun. Rest. And us.

Another FriYay and another little piece of this life we’re building together.
