My friend Kate and her boyfriend, Dave, who I had never met, spent the night with us. They live in southern Connecticut, so it’s hard to plan time together without mamking a sleepover of it. I was nervous to have a complete stranger stay the night, but if Kate likes him as much as she said she did, then he should be a pretty great guy. We went out to dinner, played some cards, just had a really nice time.

James and I both really enjoyed spending time with them. We don’t hang out with couples all that often, so this was a refreshing change. Kate and Dave aren’t married or engaged (yet!), but they compliment each other so well. I know Kate is excited about the relationship.

It’s so easy to get isolated in this neck of the woods. James and I work together, and live together, so we spend pretty much all our time together. We forget, sometimes, to reach out to other people. This weekend reminded us that our relationship can’t exist in a vacuum. It’s important to replenish ourselves by spending time with other people.
