date night

R and I had a much needed date night.

I loaded up on pills [I'm STILL sick, going on my 3rd week]

We grabbed some Chinese food from Golden Jade

And headed to a hockey game.

This was one intense game! 3 times the players threw off their gloves and punch it out. For those of you non hockey watchers, if the players throw off their gloves the refs don't even get in the way. It's basically saying whatever can happen and until someone is on the ice you keep going. CRAZY. We were there 2 hours and it felt like 30 minutes. Ladies, I'm going to throw this thought your way. Valentine's Day is coming up. If you're like me you NEVER know what to get your love. Valentine's is such a girly day and it's hard to find a present that isn't covered in pink and lace. So why not take your guy on a manly date? Go to a sports event, a band they like, or even just an action movie. I guarantee they will love you forever.

I hope you all are loving the weekend. Do something fun. [if you have no ideas the Bronco's are playing tonight. It's going to be intense!]

Date Night

I put one of my goals to good use this past Saturday night.

R went off to the priesthood session for our church.

I told R I would have a surprise for him when he got home.

When he left I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do.

We just looked at movies and there were none we wanted to see.

We don't have friends here so that's out of the question.

I didn't feel liked getting dressed up so scratch going out.

I didn't want to be lame and watch a movie.

But watching a movie is a sweet tent is just plain awesome.

It ended up being such a fun night.

R's face lit up when he opened the door and saw our living room

transformed into an awesome tent with his favorite snack out and ready to eat.

Here is all you need.

1 bed sheet, 2 hockey sticks, 3 chairs

lots and lots of blankets and pillows

Pick your loves favorite snack foods you don't usually eat.

R has been dying for cheese curds so I peddled down to Smith's and snagged some.

I also made the most delicious brownies that somehow disappeared in 24 hours. Weird.

I have both of these yummy treats on my pinterest. Go check em out.

fresh mozzarella, yellow squeaky cheese, and fresh from the garden tomatoes.

I did add some heated massage oil and one of the movies R has been dying to see. It was good to run him down and spoil him a little. Usually I'm the one who is being spoiled and it was nice for both of us to be on the other end.

It was such a fun date. It's weird how a little tent can mix up the norm and make a movie and treats so exciting.
