you are way OVERDUE for that first date after baby! GOOD JOB! So...you didn't go for the Mutton Busting Demo??!! The evening sounded marvelous! and yummy! and perfect! congratulations!
really?? you aren't as young as you used to be??? hmmmph.
i think you should've ditched the fancy restaurant and headed to the bull blowout!!
Yeah!! You two are so dang cute together. Both so romantic and lovey-dovey, it's great.
I got a kick at at least 2 points on your laundry list--1) the agreement to not talk about baby and 2) breaking the agreement not to talk about baby.
hahahahahahahahahaha
That's SO Josh and I whenever we get away without kids. We always say, ok. Let's just talk about "us" and about grownup stuff. Let's have an intellectual conversation for once. But try as we may, the subject will always drift back to the kids. And you know what? Neither of us mind. I guess that happens when you both are so in love with that little child that you just WANT to talk about them all the time.
um...where have I been? (in outer space?)
How did I not know that all this time you had your *own* blog?
I'm catching up on your posts. Your details are entertaining. You should be a writer!
I feel you on those ghiradelli choco chips- they are the only ones i will buy.
I have to go..i have a lot of reading/catching up to do on this blog.
Uh, Shara you need to start befriending some babysitting Beehives ASAP! Don't you know it is church doctrine to have a date night once a week?! :) Seriously though, I'm glad you guys had a fun night out. Just tell Trevor that I am now monitoring to make sure this happens more often. :)
