Dates!

I realized I never blogged about our "last" date - and our "first" date. Here weeeeeee goooo:

The week before I was due we decided we needed a "final" date before the babe was with us in the flesh. The week was busy and Thursday night, before falling asleep, we discussed our options for our date -- we had planned to see a movie but I didn't know of any that were out at the time that interested me. Matt told me he saw a preview for a movie that interested him - about a man who invented windshield wipers. I guffawed - windshield wipers? Wow, what a thriller! I told him I would probably have to pass. He laughed and agreed it sounded funny, but insisted it looked good. Well, Friday night arrived and we hadn't decided on a movie still -I told him to just buy tickets for whatever, I really didn't care. On the way to our theatre I asked him what we were seeing. "Flash of Genius", he says. Me: "What is it about?" Matt: "Windshield wipers...." Ha! I apologize if you liked it, but we thought it was terrible! Matt kept nudging me (sheepishly) and we laughed through most of the film. I mean, I even started cleaning out my purse in the middle of the movie. Afterwards we bought Ironman (we hadn't seen it still) and watched it at home to try to make up for the earlier flick! We both agree that at least the night was memorable.

Now, for our "first" date since Mason was born! Mason had his first non-family babysitter this past weekend. Thank you again Brittney for watching our little fella... she says he was good, but what babysitter ever tells you the whole story? :) Hopefully he was as good as she says! We owe you (again). As for me, I only had minor separation anxiety. :) For our date we went out to eat and caught a movie - Australia - which I must say, was significantly better than Flash of Genius! The only catch was Matt would nudge me every so often when Hugh Jackman was on the screen and say, "isn't he dreamy?" ha! Here is to many more dates to come...
