For the past few weeks, a bird has been sitting somewhere near the bedroom window and chirps like an annoying alarm clock. Every morning a little around 6, he will chirp 4 times very loudly and quickly. He repeats these 4 chips for about half an hour. I can handle an alarm clock going off at 6 in the morning because it has a snooze button, or the poor person waking up can turn it off. The only way to hit snooze or turn off this natural alarm requires an act against one of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:13).
But I can't let that annoying alarm clock outside ruin my day today! It's Friday!
Today is a scheduled date night for Jared and me. We have planned this for a few days now and I don't know about him, but I am totally excited! It's nothing fancy, but it's the simple things that makes life worth living sometimes.
I've been making our boring meals for the past two months. Jared has made a couple totally awesome meals and other times we've gone out to eat at cool places like Robert's Western World. Tonight though, we're sticking to the basic "dinner and a show" date. Except this dining and entertainment will be on a slight budget so we can still afford to live. We're doing a Little Caesar's pizza and stopping at a Redbox to get Megamind!
The "dinner and a show" date is pretty standard and we've had some great nights involving that theme! Like a special trip to Chicago.
We took the train to Chicago to have a fun night out!
While in town we went and ate at the Italian Village.
And for a Christmas present we got tickets to see Wicked!!
It's so nice to have a date again! Having life become routine and expected is just SO BORING! I would love some great date ideas to try out, if ya'll know any!
