Best.Date.Ever

Thanks to all the good wishes and prayers the snow held off {in fact we still haven't gotten any!} and Skip and I were able to go on our date night! It was the best date I have ever been on. It felt like it did back when we were first dating and everything was new and exciting. It was just so much fun. Unfortunately I forgot to take some pictures of us all dressed up:( Sorry guys!

First we went to dinner. I was *starving* by the time we got there, so I was glad we only had to wait 10 minutes for a table. I started off with this...


Then we split this as an appetizer {it is the sampler...we got the fried mozzarella and calamari}.....

I had one of the new dishes for my main course and it was delicious!.....

And I of course had to have this for dessert...it's my favorite!!!......

We had some time to kill before the movie started, so we just drove around where we used to live for a while...we used to do that all the time when we first got married, so it was really fun. Finally it was time to see this....

Dear John was amazing. Parts of it are very different from the book, but I liked the way the movie explained some of it better than the book. I liked it so much I wish it was already out on DVD so I could buy it and watch it again! Haha. Even Skip said it was pretty good. I think it was all the military stuff that really held his interest the most. Definitely run out and see it though!

All in all it was exactly what Skip and I needed...a romantic, relaxing night out to reconnect as a couple, not parents.

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
