Date Night

Chris and I are not nearly as good as we should be at setting time aside to go out without the kiddos. Everytime we finally do go out alone, we always say "we really should do this more often." Tuesday night was no different. Yes, that's right Tuesday night. When Grandma's available and Uncle Andrew and Kate are in town why not Tuesday night?

Andrew was home on a break from his internship in Virginia and Kate just got back from 6 weeks in South Africa, so we really enjoyed the time to catch up with them. We headed downtown and had dessert at a local hot spot. It was a gorgeous night so we ate outside.

Very nice!

The happy couples.

I love this girl... so does Andrew! YAY!

After we parted ways, Chris and I walked around downtown for a little bit. I so enjoy him. It's fun to be back living in the same place we dated. There's nothing like a little reminiscing to bring back all those puppy love feelings. Downtown was a big part of early us. It's where we were first asked if we were dating..before we had talked about it officially. I believe the awkward answer was "we're hanging out." It's where we first held hands... I don't think I will ever forget the butterflies that caused. It's also where he first held me from behind. I was smitten. The picture below was taken outside of the hotel where we spent our wedding night.

Wasn't it a gorgeous night?

One of the big things that keeps us from going out sometimes is that we really don't want to drop $50 to go out to eat or see a movie. But that night cost $15 and was every bit as great...perhaps better than if we had gone out to dinner. I think our last excuse for not going out has been blown to pieces. Maybe now we'll get serious about this date night thing! I know I would...love that!
