Date Night!

In everyday life, there may be some things you may take for granted.  However, once you have a baby, one thing you don't ever take for granted is "date night"!!  Going out to dinner together (without taking turns holding/entertaining our rambunctious 2 year old) is a real treat in our book. 

The night's challenge:  Wes had a $25 off coupon for one of our favorite Mexican restaurants, but the catch was that you had to spend $50 total (not including alcohol).  We knew it was going to be tough racking up $50 in food, but we were up to the challenge.  So we shared appetizers, iced teas, steak fajitas and a combo plate!  It was a LOT of food which meant lots of yummy leftovers for our lunches the next day. 

The best part was when Wes slipped a silver box in front of me while we were at the restaurant.  He had asked me to check something out by the door and then put it in front of me when I turned my head.  I have to admit it took me about 20 seconds to notice it as I was focused on my hubby (and the delicious chips and salsa)!  hee hee

I opened it up and inside was a beautiful David Yurman neclace!! 
Such a sweet surprise!

We wrapped up the night by grabbing a movie from Blockbuster (after Wes had to re-apply for membership since neither of us have been there for about 5 years!).  I'm pretty sure the last Blockbuster card I had was from when I was 16 and I had to co-sign with my parents!  We had to chuckle when we saw that in all those years they still have not upgraded their cards from the old school laminated paper cards.

After we got home, Grandma Jan was just finishing reading Noah a bedtime story.  Noah saw us and ran to give us both huge hugs and smiles.  Melted our hearts.  We are so blessed to have one another, our sweet Noah and two sets of amazing grandparents close by so we can go out on date night!
