date night

last night josh and i had our first date night since last summer. i know....i know. that's terrible. and we really need to "date" more often. my mom kept jake for us (overnight). josh and i went to red lobster and enjoyed a very yummy, uninterrupted meal (parents, you know what i mean). after we ate, we went to the mall. i thought the mall had a baby gap, but it didn't. so we went to gymboree to buy jake some bigger socks. of course, we stopped by tutti frutti to get some frozen yogurt. then we decided to go to target and get a movie to watch. josh picked out "the edge of darkness." josh always picks out good movies, so i never argue with him about it. on the way home, our topic of discussion was poop. yep, it was pretty hilarious!!!! and yes, we act very silly when we get tired. i told josh that i might have to watch the movie in the morning because i was so tired. but as soon as we started watching it, it was very addictive. such a suspense/thriller kind of movie! a definite must see!! we hit the sack around 12:15am. and here we are back up again at 7:30 am. i am beginning to understand the importance of still "dating" your husband when your married and especially after kids. i needed that alone time with him. i needed to laugh, carry on an adult conversation, and just spend time with the man i love. so....here's to more date nights in the future!!
