DATE NIGHT!!

I don't know what it's like in the civilian life when it comes to finding time to take a date night with your spouse, especially when there are children, BUT in the military, it's TOUGH STUFF!!! That's why they have Parent's Getaway Night once a month through the Child Development Center and Youth Center once a month so parents can drop kids off from 630pm to 1030pm and go have a date night.. So tonight was our night!!!

Here's a list of things we did:

1).  We went to the Enlisted/Challenger's Club and ate steak, rice, baked potato, rolls, salad, and cake, and had lemonade to drink (all this was free since we are Club members and it was Club member night)

2).  We went and played pool at the community center (a very family friendly environment and it was really quiet and not a lot of people there, so we were able to laugh and play some pool together.. We played 9 ball, Emilee won 1 game and I won the other, and then we played 8 ball, we each won a game)

3).  We took a stroll downtown and went a little window shopping. We went into this one Korean store and found Emilee a real pretty bracelet and also two owl bookends (if you know my wife at all, you know she loves owls.. snow owls particularly). As we continued walking, we found her a bouquet of flowers. Then we walked into the music store and priced banjo strings and cellos (since that will be the next instrument to add to my collection).  After that, we went on a venture to our favorite little corner bakery and bought a few snacks.  After that, we returned back to the main gate.

4). At main gate, we got in our car and went to Chili's on base to have dessert.. yes, JUST dessert.. we shared a chocolate molten lava cake.. DEEEEELICIOUS!!!

5).  We went, picked up the kids, went home, put them in bed, and here we sit blogging.. together.. on our blogs.. back to real life. .lol

That was our date night! God bless and, for all those married with kids, we hope you guys get a date night again soon too!!
