Jared and I left the house and went on a REAL date this last Friday night!!! It has been forever since our last date (I honestly can't remember when the last one was). Usually we'll rent a movie, make dessert, or (since Jared is no longer a student but has a real job!) we'll order take-out after the kids go to bed. But this time we called a babysitter, went to the movies and then out to dessert. I even dressed up a bit (consequently, Jared did too) since I don't know when this will happen again. It was great!
--Real movie theater to see newly released movie, Indiana Jones (not the dollar theater this time): $22
--Small popcorn, 1 bottle of water (I smuggled in my own water-wish I would have thought to shove another one in my purse for Jared), reese's pieces: $13.25
--Appetizer, dessert, and waiter's tip at Macaroni Grill (luckily had a gift card given to us at Christmas, thanks Robyn and Christian!--pretty sad that it took us 5 months to use it): $18.75
--Babysitter for 4 1/2 hours: $25
--the grand total:$79
Although very nice to get out of the house, I think this is a good reminder of why we don't go on "real" dates anymore!
