So this weekend Remy and I had an official date night. Of course we go out all the time together, but sometimes it's just more fun when you call it something official.
We stopped at Remy's favorite store of all time...
to take in couple of pairs of pants he needed hemmed. As he was trying those on I found a couple shirts I wanted him to try on. See, Remy has lost about 45 pounds since we got married in December '09. Most of it in just the last few months. He's never been this skinny since I've known him! And he looks awesome! Needless to say after 45 pounds his clothes don't fit quite right anymore. Which is sad because he had some great stuff. Anyhow he tried on a couple of things and fell in love with one shirt in particular. I knew it was expensive. But geez! He hasn't bought any new clothes since the weight loss. And I think he deserves it.
So he walked away with this little number (a short sleeved version of this exact shirt):
He spotted a really cute coral military jacket on display (not for him...geez!) in the window as we were walking in so I found it and tried it on. I assumed I'd look weird in it, because that tends to happen lately when I find something unique and cute. They only had one left and it was my size...usually when that happens it means it's destiny! So yeah, I loved it and as I was putting it on to show Remy he said "uh-oh!" Which means..."this is looking amazing and I'm going to have to end up buying it for you and it probably costs more than we should spend!" So yeah we said Happy Valentine's Day to each other and he got me this:
Then off to dinner! We took a little break from our healthy eating so we could really enjoy ourselves! Gotta love me some....
Then what would a classic date night be without a movie? We headed off to Jordan Commons and saw True Grit. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. It's part action/drama/comedy...seriously. You laugh, you cry, you have a great time! No swears, no bad stuff, not even any kissing! :) I mean, there's they occasional dead body...they're fighting with guns for crying out loud! I'll be honest I'm not sure how I felt about the ending, but it was great overall. Remy pointed out it's not really high-action per se. But there's lots of gun shootin' and horse ridin' and just entertainin'! Check it out! (btw it's an Acadamy Award nominee for best picture)
So I just have to tell you this funny story real quick. Tonight Remy and I went on a date to the place we first had dinner together. It's this little Chinese restaurant called the Dragon Diner on the corner of the 13th e. and 3900 s. if you're ever interested...
So we pull in to the parking lot and go to get out of the car. Well sometimes I forget to let him open my door for me so I'll open the door and then close it and make him come open it anyway. :) So that's what happened tonight....only he didn't realize I wasn't following him. I sat there, he walked toward the restaurant, even locked the car doors. I just kept sitting there. It felt like it took him forever to figure out I was missing! But it was pretty funny. And in his defense, he did hear me open and close the door so he thought I got out. He finally noticed because he was holding his hand out for me to hold and I never grabbed it. Anyhow, it was funny. Thank you, goodnight!
I want to preface this story with a little background information: Remy and I are not night owls. And we've always teased ourselves that we were getting old because we'd go out to dinner on a Friday night and then be ready for bed by 8. It's sad really.
So a couple Friday nights ago we went out to dinner and really didn't want to go home right after with nothing to do.
So we did a little bowling (and if I recall I won the second game!):
And played a few mean games of air hockey (which I only won 1 out of 3 games). Let me just say, air hockey is the cheapest date ever! Only 50 cents per game...and it's so fun!
