Our Great Date

For the next 6 months, Buckhead Church is conducting the Great Date Experiment. It is asking every married couple to find SIX days out of 180 to go on a real date and spend quality time together. I'm sure we all get away for dates {big or small}, but they've put together a "how-to" of sorts. They've laid out ideas, but we get to choose all the "options." And, if y'all are anything like me and the Mr, it eliminates the "what do you want to do?"..."I don't know. What do you want to do?" It even gives you dining options on "dimes" or "dollars!" {And for those with little ones, you actually talk about things other than your little ones.}

Our Great Date #1 was Friday night. We started at PF Chang's for Crab Wontons...oh, how I miss that place! It reminded me of my pregnant days...we would venture there almost every Thursday night, sit at the bar, munch on some yummy food, and watch the Thursday night football game! We did steps 1 and 2 in record time, but definitely had some good reminiscing! Nice pic huh?

We had to stop by Target so we decided to skip down to Step 4 before we went for the entree & Step 3. Basically, each of you split up, purchase an item for your spouse - $2 or under - then swap them! We chose to swap in the car, and what else did we get each other but CANDY! How could we resist so close to Easter...Jellybellys for the Mr and Cabury Eggs for yours truly!

Next we headed to Eclipse di Luna and decided to pull up to the bar for quicker service. We ordered margaritas, spicy potatoes, beef tenders with chimichurri, and calamari!!! Can you hear my stomach?! Step 3 made for some good conversations!!

For dessert, we drove over to Seasons 52...we heard they have individual desserts and thought a little variety would be perfect! I think of all the places, we stayed there the longest and had some REALLY great conversations.

Don't get me wrong, we definitely had to put some thought into some of the questions, but it was so great to be "single" again...esp. after the last couple of weeks and Kevin's crazy travel schedule. To finish out the date {the next day}, we watched Fireproof! It was the PERFECT ending! My challenge to all of the tens of you who frequent our blog is to go on your own Great Date! I know we can't wait for Great Date #2 to come out!!! COME ON...DO IT!!!!
