Buffet Date

B+C

Date #5

Racquetball, Picnic in the car, and dessert&art

Kind of a buffet of a date. We had a little bit of everything all in one.

It was a cold, rainy day, so we decided to take it indoors. We started off at the rec center for some racquetball, which was really fun. I always like to be goofy with my husband because life can get pretty serious between tending to the kids, worrying about their needs, paying bills, budgeting, etc.

I couldn't stop giggling the whole time because this is one of those sports where you need to let go of insecurities. There were so many times when I know I looked like such a dork but the ball was coming at me and I had to act fast. Definitely entertaining to anyone watching (ie. Brad).

But we're getting pretty old and we really only lasted about half an hour before getting too tired to continue, so we went to the car and had the picnic that we had packed up beforehand.

We didn't feel like we'd had enough time after that, so we got some dessert and did some drawing. Well, B drew, I watched.  I love date night!!

Date #4

Cheesecake Factory and shopping at City Creek Center

I love to shop.

This is pretty close to a dream date for me. No kids. Just me and him. A beautiful mall, new stores to discover, and good food.

We went straight to the Cheesecake Factory when we got there and took our time eating some delicious food. Then we went to a couple stores. It's crazy how fast time flies by when you're shopping. There were at least 5 other stores I wanted to look at but the mall was closing so we had to go home. I DID get a pair of nude heels and a pretty blouse. And the highlight for me was probably that B bought a couple things for himself. He's not much of a shopper, and couldn't care less about 'style', so this was big for him. We brought our camera and then left it in the car because we didn't want to carry it. : (

I got these heels (LOVE them) and this top and B got these pants in brown and a few t-shirts.
