Now, where was I?

Since last we spoke, I was planning our monthly dates. But a lot has happened between now and then. So I must review...

December

We were in Texas for Christmas so our date was leaving the kids with the grandparents and going to see the last Hobbit movie in theaters. We also were given skydiving lessons for Christmas! So that sort of counts as a date. I will post the IFly videos separately.

January

We went to hear the Symphony of Northwest Arkansas. It was inspiring. The theme was fairy tales and the fist piece they played was Scheherazade. I have never heard a live performance that moved me more. This was also David's first symphony so that made it even more special. It is always fun to dress up in heels and go out late at night with your husband. It reminds you that he is more than just the provider for your family or the father of your children. He is your best friend and your love.

 The only down side was that it was FREEZING. And I, like an idiot, didn't wear hose. And we parked 3 blocks away. My legs felt like popsicles. My teeth were actually chattering when we made it to the van. Oh yes, we drive the van on dates. We are SO cool. We stopped and grabbed Hardees on the way home because it was 11 pm and our stomachs were growling.


February

My first Razorback basketball game. I was able to get cheap tickets through Lillie's 4-H program. Wonderful weather this time, but again, we parked way, way away. I mean about a mile. And I, trying to look all cute for my hubby, wore little flats. By the time we made it to the arena, I was limping. Nickel sized blisters were forming on my pinkie toes. It was all right through the game, but I had to walk all the way back afterwards. I seriously considered just talking my shoes off and walking barefoot but that was a long way on trashy asphalt. I figured I would be letting myself in for more damage with germs and cuts than just toughing it out with the blisters.

This is our first couple selfie. And we are terrible at it. I mean, we took a photo of the trash cans. Not the giant Razorback sign, or the crowds of people, or the campus. 

The trash cans. 

We are SO cool. 

We actually had TWO dates in February. But we are counting the second one as our March date so we technically didn't break our budget. By the benevolence of my brother and his long-suffering wife, we got to see Camelot! In truth, they had bought the tickets for themselves but work interfered and they gave them to us. And just so they know, we absolutely enjoyed ourselves.

And by the way, this time I learned my lesson and just had David drop me off at the door.
My feet thank me.
