Date Nights

Last night Spencer went back to work. Sad day. Our weeks together seem to be getting shorter and shorter and farther and farther apart. I try to be such a TOUGH GIRL about it but last night the flood gates opened.

My entire family has been so sick lately and yesterday all of that caught up to me. Lovely. I was laying in bed feeling sick and sorry for myself that my security blanket is now driving back to Vernal, when I decided to have an attitute change. I decided to be thankful for the week a month we do have together, and how valued that week is. I realized how thankful I am for our "official date nights" that happen one night on the weeks Spencer is here, usually going out with Josh and Kiersten.

Here are some pictures from our last "foursome" Saturday date night..

The foursome.

Dinner at Z'tejas was D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S.

To make our date night official we got all dolled up with our lipstick on!

We went to see a movie after dinner. Kiersten and I picked Haywire thinking we were perfect spouses for picking a dude movie. WRONG. Horrible, awful, dumb, bad, bad. If any of you out there are considering going to that movie- DON'T!

Besides picking a really stupid movie, the night together was really fun.

Great company, great food, great conversation.

Today I am thankful for date night.

A Wonderful Weekend!

This weekend was a lot of fun, not to mention we got SO much wedding stuff accomplished which makes me happy. I've started telling Spencer, "Happy Wife, Happy Life!" Which I think is pretty hilarious. I'm sure he thinks he's doomed.

On Saturday we went to Target to register and the nice old lady at the counter gives SPENCER the scanner. Lovely. Literally the first thing he scanned was a pack of Pokemon cards, which I was totally unaware of his newfound Pokemon obsession that he doesn't really have. I about had a heart attack which resulted in him deleting that from our giant hand-held scanner that he dropped probably more than once. We were walking towards the back of the store when I lost Spencer down one of the toy aisles. When I found him again he was grinning ear to ear and was obviously very pleased with himself. Apparently he registered for the Barbie I Can Be a Bride Set. Which will look like I scanned the item, when I did NOT. Hopefully those who print off the Registry know better, unless your name is Haley Mears, and think I really registered for such a wedding gift. After about an hour and a half of registering and 3 scanners later, we were FINISHED!

We went to dinner with Josh and Kierst Saturday night and went to Wingnutz. SO DELICIOUS. I have a feeling that will be a new favorite hot spot. I saw Kiersten wear lipstick for the first time which I was loving. Josh and Spencer not so much but what do they know? Wingnutz also had a sign inside that said "Celestial Wings for Telestial People" Which I also found to be hilarious.

Spencer found a trendy suit that he ended up buying which is another big item checked off the wedding to do list. While we were at Gateway we also figured out his ring size, and he gave me a good idea of what type of ring he wants. Check!

Invitations were ordered this weekend and I didn't have any awful wedding dreams last night. If I knew ordering invites would have been the trick I would have done that weeks ago.

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to learn more. I took the opportunity to learn how to curl my hair now that it is long enough to (yay!) I finally feel like I'm becoming a master at the no-clamp curling iron..

Today Spencer is calling a Travel Agent my dad knows for hopefully some awesome honemoon pointers. Kepp your fingers crossed. I will also be calling a Real Estate Agent in my family to talk about possibly buying a home, and our options for that. I'd probably pee my pants if that really ends up happening! Today I start my first treatment for laser hair removal! TMI? I think not.

 Happy Monday Everyone!
