Just Getting Out...

J + D

Date #20

Just getting out....of a funk, that is.

The date funk must be contagious because this week was -my- turn to feel it.

It wasn't that I didn't want to go out with D, I just didn't feel like planning anything or dolling myself up to go out.

But Tuesday was the only day available for a date this week, so I put on a happy face and tried to make the best of it.

And actually, the date ended up being SO MUCH FUN!

We dropped the kids off with M +R and ended up lingering there for much longer than anticipated (thanks for not shoving us out the door, M!) and then as we left, we just laughed and laughed because we still had NO IDEA what we were going to do on our little "date."

We saw some little league games being played at the park and thought that might be fun (but it was too windy and cold outside)

We saw crazy people walking out of Walmart and D thought it might be fun to just go walk around Walmart to go people watching (I nixed that).

With every store we passed we thought about going in and figuring out what we could do in each one. We are so dorky. Its so funny.

But we ended up feeling a little hungry, so we found a hole in the wall Mexican Restaurant (I can't even remember the name now) and talking and laughing over our chips & salsa.

You can't go wrong with Chips & Salsa and a hot hubby in front of you, you know?

We hurried back to get the kids, stayed longer than anticipated again (we love hanging out with you guys, M + R!), and then headed home to put the kiddos down.

Then, to finish off the date, we pulled up a blanket, popped in a redbox (Country Strong---it was okay; not our favorite-definitely won't need to ever see it again),

and then fell asleep knowing that we can have fun doing anything even if its just driving around laughing together. The key was that we were determined to make time for US by just getting out...

....and that was just enough to get me out of my funk.
