A New Adventure

Alright...here it is...I'm going to write a cookbook. Crazy? Yes. Where did this come from? I don't know...ask my husband. I've been working on this little project for a while now. I'm sure that it's going quite a bit longer until it is finished. It's not going to be a normal cookbook. It's different. A mom's guide of sorts. More than just recipes. It will be fun. An adventure. =) My husband and kids have really been enjoying all of the new dishes, desserts and cakes. Can't wait to start posting a few of them and some pictures.

Date Nights

Since December my husband Craig and I made a deal with eachother. We promised that no matter what we would take 1 night a month and dedicate it to our relationship. A time out from the kids, house and other projects to focus on eachother. We also agreed to take turns planning our outings. I took the first month. We ate dinner at Taco Tice (of all places) and saw a show at The Loony Bin. It was Craig's first time to a comedy club. He loved it. Month one was a success!

January was his turn. He is absollutely in love with Old Chicago's pizza. I wasn't surprised when he decided to eat there, catch a movie and end the evening with some dessert from Orange Leaf. Month two was again a success.

Last night was again my turn to plan. I decided to invite another couple (Jeff & Tracy) to go out with us. We knew that we would have fun with these guys. Tracy is a riot and Jeff is her perfect match. We ended up eating at On The Border and bowling at West Acre Bowling. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. It was nice to talk about the "good old times" and where we are now. Thanks again guys for braving the weather and the driving. ;)

Next month is Craig's turn again. I'm a little worried because it will also happen to be spring turkey season. I hope his idea for our date won't be sitting in a turkey blind on the river waiting for a big tom to come strutting by.....
