Dates!!

So I love going on days. Ever since Grant was born they have been few and far between due to laziness of finding a babysitter/slight anxiety about a non-family member watching him. I'm over it now...but we still need to figure out how to make it easier for a babysitter to put Grant down for bed..

Anyway, one of my resolutions or goals for the year is to go on one date a week. I love the idea of it of course so we are really trying to implement it. We are on week two of dates. Last week we went to the Temple and did Sealings, and then we had lunch at Panda Express and a lunch dessert at the Malt Shoppe.  It was good fun!

This week seemed more special and less expensive. First of all it was a beautiful day. We have these "starving student cards"that have a lot of free and discounted things. We have two cards so we took advantage and found a couple things we had never done before and chose one. We went and did some Archery practice. The place was definitely for avid hunters but it was fun and funny being the silly, unskilled couple on the side. I wish we could have taken pictures during this part of the date. We were against the far left wall target and shared the target. We made up a system of points and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. My first two shots got stuck on a board on the side of the wall. Yeah....obviously not even close. But once we got the hang of things we sometimes hit the target board lol. We also had some healthy neck and neck competition and I won. Yay!

After archery we found a half off dinner thing at a mexican restaurant and shared the meal, and then got a buy one get one free ice cream at sub zero. Very rich delicious ice cream. We got way to much.  But I saved mine for later.  I was surprise to see they had other options like healthy stuff like soy milk, yogurt...among other alternatives. I went for the good stuff though. It was a great super long date. Grant was asleep the entire time while a friend from Perry's work sat and surfed the net the whole time.

Hears to dating! Weekly. I hope to report some other fun dates. Some time soon we may use our free range session at a guns and ammo shop. I have never shot a gun before. It could be interesting.
