A REAL date!

We went on a date the other night. A REAL date...it was the most amazing time we have had in a long forever. We hired a babysitter...my FAVORITE babysitter ever (and good friend---are you out there Sarah??) We drove to Little Rock and had a progressive dinner. We went to PF Changs for appetizers, Tias for queso and margaritas, a really good restaurant that I can NOT remember the name of, and we went to NU for dessert. It took four hours to eat plus another 3 to drive there and back. there was no work stress, no kid stress, only us. It was so relaxing, so enjoyable, and I felt renewed as a person (instead of a mom) and renewed in our relationship. It is so much fun getting dressed up and being romantic all night. Made me think we were dating again! (oh wait, we WERE dating!)

One of the benefits of living in Batesville is that when we actually get to do something like this, I appreciate it so much!
Maybe we will get to repeat the date next year.
