My Big Date

This Friday night was date night. I haven't had a date in so long because the hubby is always working at night now. Which is amazingly convenient for me to play the Field a bit. I have always meant to stay faithful to Steve but a girl needs to get dressed up once in a while and go out for a night on the town! You can imagine my conflicted heart when the opportunity arose to go with the most handsome blue eyed Blondie to the Theater in the city. (Steve never takes me to the theater)

We Drove together (well, I drove, he insisted on sitting in the back) We had an intellectually stimulating game of, "Would you rather?" My personal favorite he asked me was, "would you rather eat poop for dinner, or a trailer?" I must have pondered this question a little too long because he added the profound point that a trailer would most likely break my teeth whereas poop is soft and would not break my teeth. Clearly... the better choice.

As we arrived at the theater, hand in hand, we met up with some of his cousins that live downtown, and are frequenters of the arts. Even though My date found a spot sandwiched between his two cousins, rather than next to me, I knew where his loyalties were. (just to ensure they were with me, I promised him a snack during intermission. Everyone knows that the key to a mans heart is through his stomach.) I knew this would be a night to remember.

Because I suggested the play, I was a little nervous and hoped that my man would enjoy it. His face said it all. He was all smiles and was utterly amazed when he discovered that one of the characters, Tweedle Dee, used to be the Nanny of his cousin Malia. He let out a very breathy, "Wow!" He was particularly impressed by the acting chops of the bad guy Barnaby. After the show he was even more amazed that we got to meet all of the actors. We met Bo beep, Little boy Blue, Rumplestilskin, and at last, Barnaby. He gazed at Mr Barnaby as he shook his hand and told him, "You were my favorite Character!" I love a man that can express his true feelings. After the show, He exclaimed to me.... verbatim... "We should do this more often!" i don't know about you, but that sounds to that he totally wants to go out again... I really think he likes me! On the way home, He thanked me for the evening and gushed a little more about the play and the bad guy Barnaby. He said, "I really liked him, he was tricky, and he was very silly, He, like talked really loud and was very talented!" I love that he uses such sophisticated words like "talented" I really think I'm in love!

In all seriousness, we were invited to The Children's Theater in Salt Lake by my sister-in law Andrea. We saw "Babes in Toyland" It was such a fun and festive night. I love doing things out of the norm and was excited to discover this little gem. Sam love, LOVED it. I would most definitely recommend it. It was great for boys and girls.... and Moms and Dads. It was such a fun rare moment to get to go out with just my little man....Ooo I love that sweetheart.
