Dating

So you know when you and your special other first met, you went out on dates, had fun times and enjoyed spending time together, heck you even had something to talk about! Those days seem far and few between now that we're married (maybe you feel that way to?) but we're determined to get back to dating, each other ;) So now that K is older and a little easier to leave we've got my SIL to come watch the girls for us, two months in a row! Yep I am bragging lol, says the girl who hadn't been on a date with her hubby in over 2 years! It was so easy when it was the 2 older girls, I could get my dad to come hang out with them for a few hours, but his health isn't great enough to take care of a very active almost 2 year old, so it's been put on hold.

So I mentioned in a blog posts back in Feb. that what I really wanted for Valentine's Day was to go out on a date without me having to plan it.  I don't know if hubby read my blog (which I don't even think he knows the link) or someone told him or he just finally took a hint, but it happened! We only did dinner and shopping, but it was nice.  Our last date night was just a little over a week ago, dinner and a movie and shopping, yes it was bliss! We went to see The Hunger Games, though a late showing, it was great! I wasn't sure if hubby would be to into it, but he enjoyed it, there was enough action to keep his interest lol. I had already read the book so I was kind of disappointed in a few changes, but overall I felt it was true to the book.

Though dates are awesome, I forget how pricey they can be! Our dinner/movie night cost us about $70, ouch and that didn't include the shopping, but that was for the girls Easter items. It's quite sad when the 2 drinks & 1 popcorn cost more than 2 movie tickets.... I mean really!? So we'll definitely scale back our next date night and I am on the hunt for great Groupon and Living Social deals, so maybe we'll find our next adventure there! I am gearing up for our 12th Anniversary date in May, maybe we'll take an overnight trip but only if I can get a deal, hence the stalking of Groupon and LS lol.

Mamma Mia!

A couple of friends and I went to see Mamma Mia! last night after dinner at Red Robin and it was wonderful! If you love musicals and you love ABBA you will love this movie! Who doesn't want to get up and dance and sing when you hear Dancing Queen??? People in the movie were dancing and singing along with the cast, quite interesting lol.

So the premise of the movie without giving to much away: Girl meets boy, falls in love, they are going to get married. Girl doesn't know who her dad is and is determined to find out by inviting 3 guys from her moms life to the wedding. Tons of funny and touching parts, you'll laugh, you might cry but you'll leave the theater smiling!

Cast includes wonderful actors/actresses: Amanda Seyfried (Sophie) Stellan Skarsgard (Bill) , Pierce Brosnan (Sam), Colin Firth (Harry), Meryl Streep (Donna), Julie Walters (Rosie) Christine Baranski (Tanya) and Dominic Cooper (Sky).

Grab your girlfriends and head out to the movie and fall in love with the characters!

Knocked Up!

Nope I am not Pregnant! I saw that movie a few weeks ago and LOVED it! I can't say enough good things about it! It's funny, laugh out loud funny and hope you aren't the loudest person laughing! Katherine Heigl will make you love her all over again! She's so funny and brings such a light to her character in the movie!

If you watched and loved 40 yr old Virgin you must see Knocked Up! Sure it has some crude humor, drug use and uses the F word ALOT, but I guarantee you'll laugh your ass off! I saw this movie with a bunch of friends and even the more conservative ones loved the movie!

Check it out and let me know what you think.
