all by ourselves! LOL. Tim's parents decided to give Tim and I an evening to ourselves instead of taking us all out for his birthday. What a great present! Although I love the kids to death, it was really nice to be able to eat dinner without having to worry about entertaining the kids and then we even saw a movie in the actual theater. WOWIE! LOL!
For our "date nite", we took the kids to my inlaws and headed out for an early dinner at Fridays. Tim chose to have the 3 for all and I decided to have the HUGE Nacho appetizer, Brushectta Chicken pasta and Oreo Madness for dessert. Needless to say, there were lots of leftovers. Following our meal, we headed out for a matinee showing of, "Walk the Line". It was a really good movie- now we are Cash fans here in this household, but I feel as though I would have enjoyed it none-the-less. Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix did an OUTSTANDING job of playing the parts of Johnny and June Carter Cash. I am utterally amazed at both of their singing abilities- I may have to purchase the soundtrack now. Unfortunatel, between the two engagments, time passed really fast and we needed to head home following the movie so that Tim could head to work for a nite meeting. Both kids were well behaved for the grandparents- which always makes me feel much better upon our return.
It was a great evening out and I hope that we are able to plan a few more of these in the coming months- it is always nice to have a few hours here and there alone with your spouse :)
I see I have been tagged two times, so I guess that I should go ahead and and answer those questions ;) Here we go....
What were you doing 10 years ago? Hmm- I was in high school- probably training hard for indoor and outdoor track, thinking about college....
What were you doing 1 year ago? 1 year ago I was pregnant with Addie, I think just having found out she was going to be a girl.
Five snacks you enjoy: Oreos, Cheese Pringles (I just ate some ;) ), Milky Way Midnites, Sour Candy, and ummmmm I dunno- frappucinos?
Five songs to which you know all the lyrics: Most Christmas songs, Most kids songs, Songs from Sound of Music, Many Johnny Cash songs thanks to Tim and Micah, many Evanescence, Coldplay, u2, Derek Webb, Andrew Peterson, etc.... songs I LOVE music!
Five bad habits: waiting to load dishes until there is a large pile, not loading and erasing pictures off the memory card when I take them, too much computer time, not putting away laundry right away, using Tim's brush when I can't find my own (drives him crazy!)
Five things you like doing: designing, taking pictures, reading, playing softball, specnding time with Tim and the kids
Five things you would never wear, buy or get again: Pegged jeans, Three pairs of socks at one time, any perfume that came packaged five to a container and had names like Baby Soft, Lavender, etc..., Large light blue glasses, Hair that defied gravity with the help of Aqua net hairspray
Five favorite toys: Computer, Camera, IPOD, Any toy that helps entertain either child for more than 5 minutes, Photoshop
Five people I want tagged: lets see.... anyone not been tagged yet? Lets try...Lindsay, Heather, Nikki, Tim, and ummm whoever else wants to do this? :)
Thats all for tonite- go to Tim's blog tomorrow and wish him a Happy Birthday! He is the big 3-2! Old man ;)

Oh I use to hate that aqua net spray. I remember when my mom use to spray it and you would die from lack of o2. I still think my gramma uses it lol.
I am glad that you guys had a good time together!! And I will be sure to wish Tim a Happy Bday. Good thing you told me his age, for some reason I was thinking that this was his 30th. Where is my head?
