D&T
dates #29 and #30
We have had this particular date night planned for MONTHS!! Thursday night (or should I say Friday morning) was the HARRY POTTER finale! We went to a 12:15am showing with D's fam (and some friends too). We put the kids to bed at a neighbors house and transformed into our HP characters and then met the HP crew for a pre-party and pictures!! This date night proves our nerdiness and I LOVE SO MUCH that D will go along with these kinds of things with me (well, not all the time, but he loves Harry Potter too, so for this one anyway). We were the best dressed group there and had lots of people stop to take pictures with us (of course Bellatrix and Voldemort were the most popular and we were proud to be seen with them!!). We loved it!!! And the movie was AWESOME - in case you were wondering. Only have the energy to do something like this once a year or less (took us a couple days to recover) but it was worth it. :)
Cost: Under $20 for the tickets (that we paid for months ago), if you don't count the cost of putting together the costumes and ingredients for making the treats in there. :)
Date #30
The next evening, our friends invited us to MILAGROS, a new mexican restaurant (by Winco in Orem) we have been dying to try, and they offered their daughter to babysit so we could join them and we said sure!! I am super picky about Mexican - and this place was DELICIOUS. I did not love the refried beans (which would normally ruin a Mexican food place for me) but everything else was so great, I could overlook that one minor flaw.
Our first date night this week we felt like kids back in high school or something and our second date night was very adultish - a great dinner with great conversation and totally normal appearances. :) A perfect balance. And I had to count them both cause August is going to be crazy for us and not sure about how our dating life will go so I will take the credit to get ahead now. :)
this is awesome. i can admit my nerdiness too. so fun!! LOVED your costumes. i'm so sad because we're going to have to wait awhile to see the movie. i'm reading them to B and we're still not done with the 5th one, so we've got a ways to go. we're trying to read them all AND watch all of the movies, before we can watch the last one. this looked so fun, though!!
