On a Date with Mr. Walker
Saturday, February 16, 2013 at 9:28PM Mike and I went on a date tonight. He told me the other day that he had a lot of fun last weekend (when we went to the fundraising event for Christian's school) and that we should go out again this weekend. This time without the other two hundred people. And also no bingo.
We went to a restaurant called El Fenix. It's popular around here, and for good reasons. The food was great. (I had brisket tacos. Day. Lee. See. Oh. So.) (And the salsa? Moo. Ee. Bway. No.) (I was a Spanish major in college. Can you tell?)
We were able to talk about many things (including 1 Direction, Marc Anthony, and Ricky Martin...you can imagine our conversation was riveting) (Also? I originally wrote "Mark Antony"...guess where we are in our history studies?). Homeschooling, house stuff, having another baby, pop culture, the kids...we covered a lot of ground in an hour.
(Just kidding about having another baby. I was just seeing if you were paying attention.)
(Seriously. I'm TOTALLY KIDDING.)
(Can someone help my mom up from the floor?)
I think we'll do this more often (and since we've only done it once a year for a while now, that shouldn't be a difficult achievement).
Do you go on dates regularly? Is it always dinner? I think I'd rather go eat out, and then come back and do something else...watch a movie or put away laundry or clean the kitchen. Just like when we were dating in college!

Don't forget to send someone to pick your sister-in-law up off the floor too. We went out to dinner one night a few weeks ago, and it was such a treat. A once a month date night would be a good goal to shoot for. Because I'm so good at achieving my goals...
Wendy, I almost wrote that! haha!!
We generally do Sunday night date nights at home where I cook something special for the two of us after evening service. Kids are all in bed and we often stay up way later than we should before a Monday morning, but we love those times. For going out...yes, if we can get to some great food, that is our favorite. We do live in the midwest, after all. It's food purgatory. So we try to get into Chicago for some good ethnic food. But we have also done basketball games or long walks along a river as our dates at times.
We "date" once a month out on the town. I totally gulped my diet vanilla coke MUCH quicker than I intended when I got to the "having another baby" part. We had that discussion last year (on my 40th bday) and concluded that we are simply too dog-tired to do this again. I love that you discussed Ricky Martin and Marc Antony and 1 Direction. This? This is why I think you're muy fantastico!
