date

When Chris and I got married, we committed to each other that we would make time for a date each week. In the past 5 years, we have honored that commitment. Sometimes, our date night looks like ordering a pizza or picking up Sonic, but we always make time to slow down and enjoy each other's company every week.

Since Micah was born, we have continued our little tradition, but we just have a sweet little bundle with us! Well, on Friday night, we went on our first official date, just the two of us, without Micah. We had been on one dinner date shortly after Micah was born while her Grandmommy {Chris's mom} watched her. But, this was the first time that someone other than family watched her for a few hours {Thanks Westbrooks!}.

We started our date off with dinner here...

I know, nothing fancy, but we both LOVE Scholtzsky's! And, the main event of our date was going to see Avatar. We had to wear these for our first 3-D movie experience...


The movie was really good! Neither one of us would classify ourselves as enjoying "Sci Fi" movies, but Avatar was incredible. The graphics were amazing, and I really liked the story. I would definitely recommend it!

We had a great time on our date, but it felt strange not to have Micah with us. I told Chris that it felt like one of my arms was missing :) We actually almost left the movie early just to get back to her, but we showed some restraint! We were more than thrilled to see our sweet baby again. How could you not be excited to lay eyes on this face?!?

Of course, Micah was well taken care of, behaved herself {mostly}, and was sound asleep for the night when we went to pick her up. Although we will still include Micah on our weekly dates most of the time, it was a nice treat to not have to worry about a crying baby or a feeding schedule for just a few hours.
