Memorable Date

Last weekend some of our friends here in OH watched Ethan and Ryan so Stew and I could go on a date to celebrate Valentine's Day! We got ourselves somewhat dressed up (lately dressed up for us has been nice jeans and a nice top), dropped the kids off and then headed off for a great planned date!

Usually we go see a movie and then go to dinner, but I thought it would be nice to do something else. So I went searching for a nail salon to get some pedicures done. We haven't gotten one since Winter of '08. I found a place that I thought was okay. The pedicure area looked quite nice and relaxing. We get there and get settled in for what we thought was going to be a nice relaxing hour...... Boy were we wrong. The guy doing the pedi for Stew massaged his legs a little too hard...so hard it wasn't enjoyable. Stew also had picked out a nail color, a mood changing color and the guy refused to put it on. The lady who did mine gave a nice massage, but pulled out what looked like a cheese grater to file my feet (My feet are NOT that dry. She could have used the pumice stone and it would have worked fine!)......definitely wasn't worth what we paid, but it was nice just to be with Stew.

After our pedi's, we drove over to PF Changs. We were looking forward to some Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Chang's Spicy Chicken, and Crispy Honey Chicken. We went inside, told them our name, and was told it would be a 45-50 minute wait!! WHAT??!! We decided against that and drove over to Texas Roadhouse, which had a worse time frame... 50-60 minute wait! We walked back to the car and tried to decide where to go. We didn't want to go too far so our choices were McDonalds, Applebees, Quiznos, CiCi's Pizza, and Hong Kong King Buffet...................LOL. We laughed SO hard about our choices! We ended up just going to the Buffet. We were definitely overdressed for going there, but we had a great time together. One of the first things Stew said to me was, "Pick whatever you want to eat tonight...because we are dining like kings!"

We picked up our kiddos, chatted for a few minutes with Rachel and Brandon, and then took the kids to Cold Stone Creamery to get some Founder's Favorite! We ended the night with some dessert and a movie!

Although our pedi's didn't go well and we didn't get to eat where we wanted, we had an amazing time just spending time with each other! I love you Stew!!!
