Date Night

For going on 5 years now, Ben and I have aimed to have a weekly date night.  We started back yonder when we were courting, and we need it now just as much.  (More, maybe?)

Since January, these have mostly been "in-house" dates (for obvious reasons).  Mostly we talk, read a book together, eat cookies; one time we played a third of a game of Phase 10 (not so much the game type...).

To mix things up a little bit, we're now going to take turns planning.  Yesterday was my first opportunity.

The Plan:

- Unique Thrift Store (with 25% off card in tow)
- BK for original chicken sandwiches ($1.04 this weekend)
- Red Box: We Bought a Zoo
- Note-writing while eating Lindt truffles

The Results:

- Two pairs of shorts for Ben and one pair of shorts for Victor ($13.47)
- Tasty sandwiches, fries, and Sprite
- Kinda hokey movie, but we enjoyed it anyway (for any who watch it, you can skip some of the bad language if you choose the English Family language option)
- Chocolates were tasty, and we wrote each other notes and then read them and talked about them.

So, all in all, a very lovely time.  (If you have creative ideas for good, cheap date ideas, let me know.  You all know that I'm married to a much more fun person than I am...)
