Date Night

8 and 1/2 years ago I married the coolest guy I know. We weren't big "daters" when we first got together, we were more into just "hanging out." So over 8 years later, and only having a handful of dates, you get to where you don't miss what you don't have. We got to go out for our anniversary and had the best night, and we promised to do it more often. I spoke with Anna, our one and only babysitter, and told her that I need to put her on the calendar once a month. Her first free night was last night, and Matt and I took advantage of it! We headed out to MoDaddy's and used another one of our $2 restaurant.com gift certificates (which are for $25, only stipulation is that you have to order $35 worth of food) and had the most awesome dinner. And we walked out after eating 2 appetizers, 3 tacos, and deep fried cheesecake for dessert all for $13.59! Then we headed out and enjoyed the eclectic night life of Asheville, shot some pool, and made it home before midnight. We have Anna on the calendar for the 3rd Friday in May and June, and have promised each other we will cut whatever corners we have to in order to have this special time with each other. It was great to be just "Matt and Sarah" and not wear our parental hats for the night! We are already counting down the days until our next date night!
