So, maybe the rest of you are professional dating after you're married experts, but around here I have to confess that we frequently fall into doing the same old same old. Sure we do go out to eat on a lot of Fridays, or we'll watch a movie together at home at some point during the weekend, but as far as truly official dates, I think we have room to improve. Or at least we did have room. This weekend we went on two Official dates (in my opinion) and I am so proud of us! Plus, it was just really fun!
On Friday night, we went out to dinner at a bizarre but pretty good noodle house that is decorated like a French cafe, and serves Asian and Italianish (fettucine with ginger?) noodles. Weird, but pretty enjoyable. Then, since we were already gussied up, we headed over to a theatre downtown where we saw a production of Romeo and Juliet. Sigh. Dean really knows what I like. I love plays and was even in Romeo and Juliet in high school so it was a fun surprise when he told me a week ago that he'd bought tickets. It was a great production, we got fabulous seats (that were even upgraded at the theater) and felt very refined/giddy. (At least I did- after having performed in it and taught the play in it's entirety to 9th graders, how could I not love it?!)
Then, on Saturday night, we had another evening of high culture. That's right, we went to see the Coyotes play the Pittsburgh Penguins in the hockey showdown of the century. Well, something like that. Again, great seats and an action packed game provided plenty of fun. There was overtime and a shoot-out which the Penguins won on the very last shot- we were at the edge of our seats the whole time. I think Dean had a great time, even though I did complain a little about the acceptability (yes I just made that up) of fights within hockey. When people throw off gloves in the middle of a game and go at it with no one even attempting to break it up, it seems a little ridiculous to me. Hockey or not, I'll probably never get over that aspect of it. Still, after a night of theater, I was willing to sit through anything! :) No photographic evidence for this post, but thought I'd take the liberty of sharing anyway. My husband is the best!

Sounds like a great weekend. We're not too great on going on "dates" either, but I'm super excited for Nov. 20th. Will got us tickets to the new Harry Potter movie at the I-Max and he asked me if I'd like to go to dinner before hand...we may even stop at ikea! Ah, the simple joys!
You guys sound like experts to me. Want to plan one for us? Dave and I still fall back on the dinner and movie classic, but I enjoy it. It's just being out with him and not being distracted by TV or other at-home distractions.
Taylor, about those pictures - they were taken about a month ago, you should see me now. :) Yes, there's a baby in there. I promise to post a decent "bump" picture soon, seeing as how I only have about two more months to do so. :)
When we actually sometimes get a babysitter, anything we do, even if it's dinner and movie feels like the best date ever. Heck even going to the grocery store is amazing. Ah, children. We still haven't left Kip with the sitter, though.
Sounds like you had the perfect date night. Good job, Dean!

PS Why are we the same person? I eat nutella with apple slices all the time! I will now try oranges! yum!!!!
