So for those that don’t know, I have two kids, 2 young kids that is. I have a now 3 year old ( as of 12/30) and a 1 year old. So I don’t go out or get out much, but not just because they are young but because we are broke and trying to recover financially from a job loss.
Well, thanks to an awesome friend and his niece, we were able to get out of the house and have a date. our first date in like, I don’t know 3 years. And not just any date, a double date ( our friend and his girl friend), with grown ups. We were able to go out on a date and have grown up time too. that’s right you read that correctly, I was able to go out with my love and with our friends and have some adult fun. ( we owe this date not only to our friends but family members for the wonderful gift cards they gave us)
What did we do you ask… well nothing big. We went and had dinner at chick fil la ( yes I know not very romantic but easy on the budget and well I love Chick Fil La) and then we went out to a movie. And not just any movie, we saw …. The Hobbit, yes we saw a 3 hour movie, it was so great. There were no pauses, diaper chances, babies crying or interruptions and I didn’t fall asleep in the middle either. It was really exciting. the only down fall, it will be another year until part 3 comes out.
But I am so grateful for the 4 hours I had with just being an adult, being with friends and with my Love. To have the time, even though so small, it keeps my sanity with all the diaper changes, crying and well life.
It may seem odd that this is a big deal for some, but it you are a parent you will understand, especially if you have more than one kid. And if you are a LOTR fans (ringer) you really understand the excitement I feel about seeing part 2 of the hobbit and how horrible the wait is for me to see part 3.
On a side not with the movie: is it just me or did the guy that played Bard the Bowman look like and older version of Orlando Bloom‘s William Tunner character in Pirates. Just saying. For a moment I actually thought that PJ gave OB two parts in the film.
My life as I know it
