1. One weekend, before the beginning of fall semester (technically, in August), we took a trip up to Salt Lake City for our date night. So. Much. Fun. :) So first, we did a session in the SLC Temple, and it was a great experience - what a wonderful spirit was present!
After the session, we ate dinner at the Lion House Pantry on Temple Square, which was very tasty. Then, we watched "Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration" at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building - also on Temple Square. It was a perfect idea from my wonderful husband for a spiritually focused date :)
2. Two months later, on October 8, we randomly acquired tickets to the BYU vs. San Jose St. football game (BYU's homecoming game) from Craig and Ketra (thank you!). It was a late game, but we had such a blast keeping warm and cheering our team on. This was the first time we have seen a live game together - and we both enjoyed being in the LaVell Edwards Stadium.
3. A triple date with family! We finally got to go see Jenni and Casey's new apartment (and it is lovely), and have a triple date with them and Casey's sister Danielle and her husband Jesse. Jenni and Casey were very creative in that we had a lovely lunch, and ate with random cooking utensils (she's got all the pictures, sorry). We played games, tossed a Frisbee, and just caught up with each other! What a fun date!
4. On October 22, we commemorated the 1 year anniversary of our first date by grabbing some siblings and friends (Benj & Ty, Jenn & Danielle) and went to Insanity Point and Thanksgiving Point. So fun! They had 5 haunted attractions in their Insanity Point section of the festivities, and we enjoyed them all! We even went for a hayride, and made our way through a non-haunted corn maze (sort of . . . ). It was such a blast, and we are both very grateful for that first date we had one year ago around Halloween. :) . . . sorry, no pictures except a general one found on Thanksgiving Point's website:
5. Just this last weekend, my amazing husband came up with a very clever way to choose, and not choose the date at the same time (sometimes choosing what to do is the hardest). He found about 8 items, laid them out on the bed, and had me choose two. Each item had a date activity related to it, and I ultimately chose what we ended up doing (pumpkin carving). What a great idea by the creative Matt!
Dating is so fun - especially when you always have a hott date who you know won't really turn you down. Keep up the fun dates, it gets even better! :)
I just wanted to stop in and say thanks for the thought you left on my blog. It was perfect for my little Emily's situation.
