Date Night

Last night, the Chief and I finally got a date night! We have been really good about going out each week for the past couple of years, but for the past 6 weeks, we just haven't had an opportunity to do more than go across the street to work out. While that is fun, it just hasn't been cutting it for quality alone time that every couple needs! So, last night, we asked our nephew to tend the boys, rented a redbox for them to enjoy, and we headed out. So, the dilemma...what to do? We're still in our weight loss challenge, so we knew we didn't want to eat out. We decided to head to Kohl's to go shopping for new running shoes for both of us. Now, that we've been working out so much, our shoes really needed to be upgraded! So, we went, and we tried on a variety of shoes. I even had the Chief and myself try on the Shape-up shoes. They are pretty funky, and we laughed at one another as we walked around "toning up our calves". I tried on some super high heels that made me taller than the Chief and almost caused me to topple over there in the middle of the store! We just really enjoyed being silly, and some seriousness, and no kids to supervise!

When we finished our shopping, we couldn't figure out what to do. It was too early to go home, and too late to do very many activities. We finally settled on going to see a movie. It was a comedy that let us just continue the fun evening of being silly, and laughing out loud!

And when we got home, the best part? All the children were asleep, and it even looked like at least half of them had brushed their teeth! Can a mother ask for much more than that???

And just in case you were wondering, the movie, DATE NIGHT, starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell was a great movie...although it wasn't the one we happened to see last night!

Moral of the Story: taking your significant other on a date is a very positive thing, and I highly recommend it be done often! And thanks again, Chief, for a very enjoyable night!
