Dates

Ever since we've started telling people that we're pregnant, we have heard the same two things over and over:

1. Go on as many dates as you can!
2. Go to the movies every weekend!

Apparently these are rare occasions once you have a kid. So after months of getting this advice we decided to take it. Don't get me wrong, we go on a date usually every weekend. However, our dates typically consist of Wendy's or Taco Bell and a red box movie rental ($1 a day baby!). So I guess you could say we decided to go on a REAL date last weekend... and still managed to spend about the same amount of money! I'm not a huge fan of Italian food, but we had a gift card to The Olive Garden that we needed to use. So the night started there. Dinner was delicious and Darren discovered that his favorite drink in the entire WORLD is Olive Gardens Orange-Vanilla Italian Cream Soda! Not gonna lie, it was dang good! After dinner we discovered that my parents and younger sister Bailey had come South for the evening for a little variety in their shopping outing. Bailey was brave enough to join her old and boring married sister (and husband) and came to the movies with us! We saw Traitor, which was pretty intense! Don't worry, we didn't have to pay for that either! We had free movie tickets that we had gotten for a Christmas present last year :) I don't remember the last time I PAID to see a movie... maybe it was Harry Potter...? Unfortunately, our "Free pass to the movies" friend just moved to Idaho for school :( What a let down! Anyways, after the movie, we went home. Darren worked on who knows what in the office and Bailey and I watched What Not to Wear and Say Yes to the Dress! It was nice to have someone watch those shows with me who actually likes them :) Thanks Bailey! It was an extremely enjoyable evening! I just wish I had taken pictures...
