Build Something Together

When Jeff and I moved to Iowa, we were unpacking and realized that we had an enormous amount of DVDs and VHS tapes.  (Yes, we still have a VCR and love it!)  Seeing this, we decided that we were going to build a shelf specifically for them since we had run out of places to put them. 

What I love about this project is that it can be one you make yourself or find plans off of the internet.  It's really up to you, depending on your skill level.  We decided to make our own plans and we made a simple shelf that was perfect for our space and all of our movies.

It doesn't have to be a shelf.  My sister and her husband built a picnic table together (that's on my bucket list!) and it turned out awesome.  Build a birdhouse, a bench, bookends, or a bedside table.  There are so many different options.

Relationship reconnection:  This date will let you spend a lot of time together (especially if you are building something bigger).  Enjoy that time together, talking and working.  Don't allow yourself to get distracted.  Life gets so hectic that often couples don't have time for one another.  However, you're together until the project is done, which could be days.

Happy dating!
