Date Night

With Michael working from 5:30-midnight every night, we haven't had many date nights in the 5 months that we've been married. We've been able to have a couple "Date Days" where we ran errands together or spent the entire day at the Temple, window shopping, having lunch and dinner out, and seeing a movie so I don't feel too terribly deprived. However, as stated in my previous blog entry, I am super excited that Michael is now working 11:30 a.m.-8:00 p.m. or 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m because it gives us the ability to do things together in the evening. Not only do I get to go on dates with my husband, I also have a gym partner again. :)

Monday (Aug. 29th) was Michael's first day working in his new department and he loved it! He is so happy to have made the transfer from Customer/Tech Support to Customer Retention. Not to brag or anything but, he's pretty dang good at his job. I think I smell a promotion in the future...(Positive thinking!) To celebrate Michael's promotion and our newly freed up weeknights, I decided to take him on a date. I packed the fabulous Bed, Bath, & Beyond picnic basket my aunt gave us for our wedding, packed our sweatshirts and a blanket, and took him to watch TRON (one of his favorite movies) on the huge blowup screen the city uses to host movies in the park during the summer. It was a great fun and inexpensive date that we plan on repeating! :)
