The Great Date #1

On Wednesday the hubs and I went on our FIRST Great Date. If you don't know what I am referring to you can read about it HERE.

Note: The church I linked you to in the aforementioned post did a different 1st great date then the one we did, because I printed it off from another church site, don't ask me why...

We were lacking on the picture taking during the date,
so I added a nice old engagement picture.

We chose Johnny Carino's for dinner. You are suppose to have the waitress choose your dinner for you with only ONE stipulation, but Chad wasn't up for that, he didn't want to put the waitress on the spot. HA! I was ok with it because I am an EXTREMELY picky eater, and we don't go out much any more, so I didn't want to spend $15 on a meal I would hate. (Even though I did, but at least it was my fault not hers. HA!) But the bread and oil was delightful...pretty sure I ate my weight in that! Yum!


During this time we asked each other a list of questions. My favorite was "If you had to get a tattoo that summed up why you love your spouse it would be_______" For me I would get a court jester because my hubby is such a clown and makes me laugh all the time. For him he said the word Loyal because I am super loyal to those I love.

Next up we were to go somewhere and ask more questions and talk. We chose to drive around and go to the mall (mostly because someone, ahem Chad, wanted to look at shoes). To bad it wasn't nicer out so we could have walked around outside. :(

Finally we were instructed to go to the grocery store, split up and spend $2 each purchasing a dessert for one another...well, since we clearly love to follow directions :) we decided we would rather go to Freddy's for a turtle concrete!! YUM! Grand total $4.15! Perfect. :) Hey, it is about being together not being a rule nazi.


Then it was homeward bound!

Overall, it WAS a Great Date! It was fun and I felt like I got to learn a little more about Chad and hopefully him about me!
I love you Chad and can't wait to do the next 5 dates!!



P.S. It isn't too late to join in on all the FUN!

Hungry Girl 200 under 200

A week or two ago I won my FIRST ever giveaway from this great blog The Life and Times of a Dietetic Intern (she is in the process up updating her page, so the link may not work right away.) Most of you know I am a RD by trade, so when I stumbled upon her blog a few months ago I was super excited to meet a fellow (soon to be) dietitian! I find it interesting to compare her internship to mine because it is a completely different program. This is what I love most about blogging, "meeting" new people with common interests.

ANYWAY she hosted a giveaway for this AWESOME book!!

I saw it featured on Rachel Ray several months ago and was very intrigued. There are so many delicious recipes for all your favorite "junk" foods that are all 200 calories or less! While I like to consider myself Rachel Ray because I seldom follow a recipe exactly or ever, I am extremely excited to try these out. I have high hopes of posting about some of them in the future!!
Thanks Jessica for the great giveaway!

Blogger Award

I was given this fun award by my newest bloggy friend, Kelley!

It is now my turn to choose some beautiful bloggers to award and tell you all 7 random facts about myself!

Beautiful Bloggers:

Melissa
Ginger
Gina
Erin
Sharla

And my 7 random facts:
1. My all time favorite show is Friends. I can quote nearly every line in every show. Ask me any Friends question and I know the answer and which season (and more often than not which episode) it comes from.
2. I am a maker of lists. I have lists all over the place...it is like I can not function unless it is written down.
EDIT: I have been cleaning off my desk to make a "playroom" and I came across 5 different to-do lists! HA! It was nice that I could check most of the stuff off...just found it amusing.
3. I don't remember the first time Chad and I met (according to him). We still debate about this because he tells the story and I remember everything he says EXCEPT him being there...weird.
4. I have a real knack for solving crime shows within the first 5-7 minutes. Just call me Patrick Jane. :) (I heart the Mentalist!)
5. I use to hate despise green beans, but then I got pregnant and then they sounded good. Well, now I love them!
6. I love fashion/make-up and hair, BUT...I just can't get myself to get out of my sweats and ponytail. HA!
7. I never ever wanted to be a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom) I WANTED to work. Then I got pregnant...honestly I can not imagine doing anything else then being Leighton's mom!
