Date Night

My sweet friend, Maren, called me on Friday (after lots of confusion between the men, big shock) and told me she wanted to watch Chloee so that we could go out for a date. She is such a sweetie, she is always thinking of others and is constantly serving those around her. Seeing as how I couldn't remember the last time we went out on a date without Chloee, I knew we needed it, so I took her up on it.

We decided to go out to eat. Of course we went to Chili's. It's Josh's favorite place. It was nice to sit, eat and actually be able to have a conversation without having to pay 90% of our attention to Chloee. You know, making sure she isn't throwing food at the other tables, screaming at the top of her lungs, staring at people as they eat, throwing a fit about how she doesn't want to eat or wants whatever we are eating. It was a nice enjoyable evening. We are trying to be better about budgeting and everything so we just did dinner. After we went back to Lance and Maren's and watched a movie on their wall. Lance had borrowed the projector from work. It was pretty cool. I tried to put Chloee to sleep on Maren's bed and fell asleep and evidently Josh fell asleep about 20 minutes into the movie but don't worry, Lance and Maren stayed awake for the whole thing. They were probably like, "Josh is asleep here on the couch and Kimberlee and Chloee are asleep on our bed and here we are watching a movie, get them out of our house!".

We had fun. Thank you Maren, for a very much overdue and greatly appreciated night out!

What a sweetie Maren is!! It's so great that you guys have such fantabulous friends that look out for you. A night without the kiddos is such a great refresher for Mom and Dad (like you don't know that). I'm glad that you guys had fun and got a conversation in!

Remember when we used to come over to your 1st apt to watch a movie and all of us would fall asleep on the floor and Micheal would just leave for work at Maceys and Kai and I would just sleep over? Good times!

I'm glad you guys took me up on the offer! Sorry that the men couldn't catch the hint the first time so that you would have been surprised by it! We couldn't care less that you all fell asleep. Isn't that what watching a movie is all about??!!
