Date Night

My husband recently felt led to start up a marriage course at church. We are using a wonderful video and book series called The Marriage Course . As a requirement for the course, we are to schedule a date night or "marriage time" once a week. A date night, every week! Yep that's right..... Tonight was his turn to plan the date. Everything he planned was a surprise to me (I don't like surprises too much, but I survived). First he took me to the Iditarod Headquarters in Wasilla. Then surprised me with a trip to Anchorage, the drive was amazing and I got to fill up on some more of that intoxicating sunlight! We ate dinner at a great little Thai place on Muldoon, that used to be a Pizza Hut, which was kind of romantic as we met at a Pizza Hut 18 years ago this May. I ordered Pad Thai, which was amazing, the best I've ever had. He ordered Sticky Rice and an Eggplant and Pork dish. The food was outstanding! We finished up supper and headed over to Kaladi Bro's for a couple of Americano's and eventually ended up at the Regal to watch The Tourist. The Tourist was fabulous by the way. I absolutely loved it, I have no idea why it got such bad reviews! Angelina Jolie was class and style, and reminded me of Audrey Hepburn on many occasions. And of course, what woman doesn't love to watch Johnny Depp, he is truly amazing. I guess I knew I would like it as they are both two of my favorites. The cinematography was great and the story was good too, it kept me guessing. Last week on date night, we tried to do our Marriage Course homework, and got into a little tiff. We learned our lesson and didn't do our homework this week. All in all this weeks date night gets 4.5 stars out of 5 for me. Thanks honey!
