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!

The movie theater cost $11?!?! I thought Dallas was supposed to be cheap!
Glad you help you get a real date---and yes, its sad it took you five months to use it.
Dallas is definitely NOT a cheap place to live! (Just about every where else in Texas is though)
A date?? A what?? What is that word? I don't think it's in my vocabulary!! ;)

I checked out that blog you told me about...and it was so cute! The funny thing (gotta love blogging) is that I found a link on her page to one of my classmates from my BYU design classes!
Sounds like quite a date! Ryan and I need to have one of those very soon. I like your blog template.
Where or where have the Kelley's gone? It time to update again... or maybe its time for a phone call...
How did i not know you had a blog, but ours is linked to yours? You have inspired me to update more often. I can't believe how cute your kids are! We get an update from Jared's parents every time we are in Houston and it sounds like you are doing well. We need to stay in better touch!
