a date

James and I went on a much needed PRIVATE date last night.  Yes - no Porter.  Please, hold the snickering and comments on that fact :)  My friend and her husband were kind enough to sit at our house while Porter slept.  They rock.  

We went to a local restaurant for a late dinner - which was awesome because we were the only "guests" at that time.  It was quiet and we enjoyed it!  We even got dessert.  I shouldn't have picked it though.  It was nothing like I thought it was going to be - should have gone with the cheesecake, dang.

After wards, we drove to Wal Mart.  Because why not?  The mall was closed and we wanted to keep playing.

James held my hand, opened the car door for me - OH! and we totally even sat on the same side of the booth.  I know we only have one baby but it really does change your life.  I forgot what it was like to be "just us".  I had great intentions of taking the camera to document our dinner or our holding hands or something...but in the excitement of leaving, I forgot it.  So you'll just have to take my word for it - it was great :)

P.S. Happy Groundhog's Day!  Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow...so an early Spring it will be! Did you know he lives in PA?  That's where I was born...awesome.

  5. Tiff~ tell me about it. Brian and I just started those kind of dates just us two... well it's not a weekly routine or anything, but if a friend offers we take em up on it immediately. It's seriously amazing how much it is needed after having baby number one and totally focusing on him every hour of your life. I completely know where you're at. Too bad we can't be neighbors and take turns babysitting/dating.
