It's a blue moon

It seems like only once in a blue moon that my husband and I get to go on a bonafide date. We managed to get a movie in while we were in Florida, but that was just a quick out and back. Tonight, my sister-in-law watched the kids (for free!) and we took off for an early movie. We had discount movie passes, and when I used my frequent visitor card, I got a free ticket, so we practically MADE money going to the movies tonight! We saw Gran Torino, which was a really good flick for us to go see together. Lots of moments to laugh, but also emotional. After the movie was over, we had a little time to get some food before. We were going to try out the new Mediterranean restaurant in town, but they had a 30 minute wait, so we opted for a little Mexican joint that John Madden has been known to frequent. We split some food, had some beer and enjoyed each other's company. It's good to reconnect. And believe it or not, we didn't spend the whole time talking about the kids! After dinner, we picked up the kids and put them to bed and then watched some TV together.

Good times. Wish it was more than once every blue moon. Maybe if Lance gets a new job we can try to put this back on the calendar more regularly.
