Anyway, I'm not going to go on about that in this post so I'll move on now.....
Moving on....
Dan and I take turns planning Family Home Evening and weekly Date Nights. We alternate weeks and have them marked in brightly colored ink to help us keep track of who's in charge. Leading up to our respective responsibilities we will remind each other who's in charge so that something will be properly and impressively planned.
I have to admit our date nights are generally more exciting and memorable than our Family Home Evenings. We'll go to dinner, rent a video, do a Friday road trip (when Dan has the day off), attend church activities, and other various outings we discover in our new surroundings.
On Friday, April 30th we had dinner group at our home so our date night moved to Saturday, May 1st. Dan was in charge and planned a day date for us. Since this was somewhat momentous, I decided that pictures should be taken to document the events of the day. So, without any further ado, here are the makings of our May 1st Day Date...
What we needed to bring with us:
Out the door we go! (Not sure why Dan looks so unhappy, he planned the whole outing and it's his moment to show off his creativity.)
Stop #1: Pay rent...
...and check the mail. (We each did a task with this stop.)
Stop #2: The credit union.
Stop #3: Kadlec hospital to visit Dan's employee who just had her baby.
Stop #4: A tour of the movie theater turned stage theatre. (We strolled in and the owner/manager willingly gave us a tour of the place, after Dan mentioned his Master's degree in theatre.)
Stop #5: The library to return books BEFORE they were overdue.
Stop #6: The video store. Dan's company plays movies while the donors donate their plasma so he's always looking for movies to add to their collection, and that are edited by Clear Play. We went in to see if the manager would give him a deal and then looked through the DVDs they had on sale. (Here Dan's calling the center to make sure they don't already have the titles he wants to purchase.)
Stop #7: Something to eat. We had to order $6 or less in food since that's all we had left in our account until payday the next week. I know, you wish you could be big spenders like us! :)
Stop #8: We tried to look at a possible new apartment to move into, but the office is closed on Saturdays...
...so we admired the ducks instead.
Stop #9: Home to watch one of the movies we'd just purchased and to end the date on a more traditional note.
Hmmm, I think I was short-changed on our date, we just ran errands...Oh well, we did it together and it was more fun that way. Guess I have to let it slide, this time anyway....
