Date Weekend

After many months of merely passing each other day in and out, Chris and I finally planned a date night.

We often find ourselves making time for family and friends, but rarely just us. Well, this passed weekend end we got a little of everything...friends, family and just us.

Friday was just hanging at the house with Mackenzie. Saturday Chris had to work, so Mackenzie and I cleaned house, did a bit of laundry, got ourselves clean, and listened to music. She had nap while I got ready for a friend's wedding shower. Early in the afternoon, my Mom came and got Mackenzie to go spend the night and I headed to the wedding shower. After a few hours of good food, games, gifts and gabbing I made my way home to meet up with Chris and hit the town.

We had dinner at Outback and actually kept the conversation going without talking about diapers or daycare, etc. the entire time. Then we enjoyed a quiet, leisurely stroll through Barnes and Noble, which was Chris's idea. (This man once walked into B&N with me and 5 minutes later said he was bored.) We had a Starbucks coffee and called it a night.

Sunday, Mom and Mackenzie played hookie from church, so Chris and I went, just us...and the entire congregation. Since we did not have to rush Mackenzie home for a nap, we got to eat lunch with Mackenzie's godfather. Afterwards, we picked up Mackenzie and headed home for a lazy afternoon and then dinner at Chris's parent's house. Luckily, Chris's sister and her wife were home for visit and we ended up playing Guitar Hero/Rock Band into the night.

Monday, Chris and I had the day off and enjoyed a great lunch at a Japanese restaurant and went to see the movie "Red" with Joanne and Heather. Awesome movie!!!! I highly recommend it. We ended the day, again showing off our musical talent, with The Beatles Rock Band.

What a great weekend! Date night, church, a couple of lunches, a movie, and Rock Band...who could ask for more?!?!?!?!?!
