A wee getaway

The other night we went out to Outback. We went because 1) we had a gift card and 2) it was our anniversary so we figured it was a good time to use free money. The steak was pri-tee tasty.

However, that was not our anniversary celebration. Rather, it was not our only anniversary celebration.

My mom told me about some friends of hers (looking at you, Moody's!) who take turns planning their anniversary. I thought that was a great idea so we've adopted it.

I took the first turn and I found a sweet idea online. It's a surprise for Daniel so I'll share more after the weekend. BUT I'm pretty excited about it.

Hope your weekend is grand!

Date Night! Actually, every night seems like date night. Even when all we do is make dinner and watch a movie or play scrabble. Last night we went to see Water for Elephants. I'll let you draw your own conclusions. But here are my thoughts in a nut shell: 

1. The infidelity aspect of Marlena and Jacob's relationship seemed much more apparent in the movie than in the book. 

2. I hate any form of animal brutality and those parts brought tears to my eyes.

3. Marlena's clothes are awesome and I want them. 

4. I had never been to the circus before (I don't think) and it was spectacular. 

5. The book, as always, was better. But they gave it a fair shake, and it was still fun to watch. Especially when the Elephant does tricks.
