last week jonathan and i missed date night because i had a cold and was lame and went to sleep at 8:30. so tonight was our second date night, and it was my turn to plan. i am really loving it. it's so fresh and new and gives us something to look forward to.
so tonight was my turn. we were both pretty tired from the week, so i contemplated staying in. we bought some new paint for one of the bedrooms in our new house (my new house in april, currently jonathan's house - we don't shack up if you were confused) the other night and so i thought about painting tonight. but then i decided that was a tad lame for the super planner - by super i mean anal, not excellent.
tonight was wonderful. or a fairytale - if you're into taylor swift. we started the night off by going here:
gloria had told me we ought to try it, and i trusted her judgment. i just wanted somewhere we had never been and somewhere casual. i wasn't in the mood to dress up. i knew walking in we'd like it - there were two sets of cowboy boots sitting out as decorations, a few cowboy pictures, some horseshoes, antler chandeliers, and so on.
the food was really great. our waitress was even greater. her name is jillian if you go there, you should request her. she was just fantastic. we both ate til we were about to pop. we talked about farming and life. here's jonathan smiling at sweet jillian. he cute.
after supper we decided to grab a quick bite of ice cream - because we weren't already full enough. i mean really, cold stone was staring at me telling me to come over, so i listened. we ate our ice cream and then went to the second part of date night.
as a little sidenote, jonathan and i have decided to boycott going to movies, because the price is outrageous, and because they wouldn't take jonathan's coupon one time. but tonight, i decided it was an exception. we haven't been to a movie in probably a year and a half.
one of my coworkers told me that "true grit" was really good, and she even gave me a coupon for $2 off two tickets. so we used that, and we felt better. the movie was seriously GREAT. it's not the traditional stacey movie - anything with julia roberts falling in love - but it was so good. it was a western based around the end of the 1800's (i think, could be wayyy wrong), and i told jonathan it reminded me of johnston county - that's where part of his family lives - he didn't think it was so funny. actually he did, because he's my number one fan.
all in all it was a great night. he's so good to me, and i'm so blessed that after all this time we've ended up together, with God's hand so in control. so y'all go get a steak, wear your cowgirl boots, and splurge to see true grit. and oh yea - if you bring your movie ticket stub to the coldstone at beaver creek you get a buy one get one free love it. and we loved it.
