Quality Time

Yesterday Scott and I were able to get away and have a "date day". We started the day by going to church with a friend who was having a special ordination service. It was great seeing friends we hadn't seen in a while and catching up. After church we went to Chili's and had a light lunch. It's always so nice to sit at a restaurant and eat without the cries, arguing, and chaos of children. We ate and enjoyed a peaceful time together. After lunch we went to see The Bucket List. It was pretty funny. We had a lot of laughs. After the movie we went to the mall. I was in desperate need of new walking shoes. Here's part of the reason I hate shopping...especially for shoes: The smallest size most decent shoe stores carry is 6. I wear a 5. This means that if I want to find something that fits me I have to go to the kid section. I'm not a fan of wearing shoes that light up or have pictures of Bratz or Hannah Montana on the side. For this reason we had to go to MANY different stores before we FINALLY found a pair of kid shoes that didn't look like kid shoes. After the long and tiring shoe hunt we needed a little bit of a "pick-me-up", so we ended up at the Cheesecake Factory. What a great way to end the perfect day! We enjoyed our cheesecake and coffee and then headed back to Scott's parent's house to pick up the kiddos. We sat and visited with them for a while and then packed up the kids and headed home. The rest of the evening was spent relaxing and watching TV. It was such a great day. I am looking forward to today, too. My friend, Erin, and I are going to see 27 Dresses. I am looking forward to spending some time with her. We haven't had a chance to hang out in a while.
