Adult conversation...ah!

This afternoon Brian and I attended a house warming party for our friend's Glenn and Rob (see a photo to your left of the charming couple). They recently decided to cohabitate after a long relationship and after a lengthy search, found a very nice home in the beautiful German Village area. It was a lovely day for their party. Their new home was as nice as I knew it would be. I love that area of our city, and their home is very near several key German Village landmarks, including The Book Loft.

I wish I could have taken photos of the fantastic interior of their home. One whole wall in their living room and master bedroom is real brick! Very distinguished. They also have a gorgeous oasis of a backyard too, including a nice deck. Sitting there enjoying our drinks, the smooth sounds of Harry Connick Jr. in the background, and a nice early evening breeze cooling down the high temps - it was hard to believe it is only about a 15 minute walk to downtown from their front door!

The best part of the evening was being able to sit and talk with my husband uninterupted for almost an hour. We participated in idle adult chit chat and basically got to act like hip young adults again! It was a lovely break from the mundane...and just what the relationship doctor ordered. We left the party a bit early and went to our old dating hang out spot in the Short North - Macs. We shared a plate of food and watched the people walk by. It was romantic in a Cheri & Brian kind of way.

Want to know a silly secret about me? I love it when Brian and I sneek away at the park and play frisbee together. Don't worry! The kids are a safe distance away - we aren't stupid - but we sneak in some couple time this way too. I always come home feeling calmer, happier and closer to my hubby when we do this. All because of a little round disc. :o)

Well, I'm off to catch the rest of The Dead Zone. I wish Rob & Glenn all the very best in their beautiful new home. I hope today's visit will be the first of many. Nite all!
