It was one of the first things to go when Jay was born...one person cooked and the other was left to tend the little one.
So it's fitting that during our challenge here we (attempt) to do some cooking together.
Now I say attempt because we still have a daughter that needs our attention. So it wasn't the a scene out of a movie where we shared a glass of wine, flirted shamelessly as the meal teeters on the edge of burning (of course saved in the nick of time). Instead it was Jay, strapped to Daddy's back while we created our very first Quiche...and there was no wine-I am 7 weeks shy of baby #2 being born-it hardly seems appropriate.
It was, however, perfect in it's own little way. Sometimes it is about doing the things that used to be commonplace before life changed to remind you of why you are with your significant other.
It was one of the things that made me fall in love with my husband and the possibility of 'us', our ability to be so in sync, to work so well with each other was and is such an amazing feeling. I don't think that you have to everything in common with your spouse, but I do think that you need to be able to get onto common ground to be able to muddle through the tough stuff in life. You need to be able to walk together in your life journey, otherwise you end up walking a part.
Working together in the kitchen this evening though, it wasn't about the tough stuff, it was just about being able to enjoy and share each other's space, to work alongside something...to create something new.
By the way...the quiche was quite tasty for a first attempt!
So I challenge you readers out there...find that thing that you 'used to do' before 'life' happened faster-harder then it used to, and give it a chance to rekindle your own love.
