Today, Liz and I spent the morning and afternoon tackling the second floor. We’ve decided to refocus our efforts on the second floor, and the best thing we feel is to clear as much space as possible.

Liz and I have had a “lunch date” on the calendar for something like 4+ weeks now. Things have been a little hectic the last month or so, but things finally slowed down enough to where we were able to meet up for a quick little get-together, downtown.

Normally, back when we used to go to Wolff’s flea with some regularity… we always tried to wake up super early, and to get there right when the gates opened.

After brunch, we headed back home and suited up for a bit of yardwork. Neither Liz nor I intended to spend the rest of the day outside… but an hour turned into two turned into almost five.

Liz got these towels as a gift from her mom, for her birthday. They are incredibly cute, and just uncanny in how close they are to matching the two of us.

As I was grabbing photos off my phone, to write up the blog entry for our Date Night at Giant, in Logan Square… I noticed something a little off. What was that photo there, before all the restaurant ones?

After a full day of cleaning the house (and some miscellaneous yard work), Liz and I cleaned up and headed back to Logan Square for date night. Several months ago, back in March, she made reservations for us at a place called Giant.
