date night a month ago

This blog makes it embarrassingly apparent that I am a procrastinator. Me and Mr. BF had a date night (it's a pretty regular thing) 3 plus weeks ago and I remember taking pictures and thinking to myself that I was going to blog about every detail of our date. So here I am finally getting around to blogging about it and I can only hope I even still remember all the details.

Since moving away from Hawaii (insert triple sad frowny face with a tear HERE) I have been missing all my favorite food places in a real bad way! One of those places being Haleiwa Eats. I LOVE thai green curry. So we decided to try this thai restaurant in riverton (i think). It looked kind of fancy, the menu was huge, and we definitely got a lot of bang for our buck because the portions were generous. BUT ( <---notice it's a big but) taste-wise, it wasn't quite satisfying. Despite that dinner was great. We chatted (it's been too long so I can't remember what we talked about) but I know we had a good time. This guy can make me laugh all the time! That's one of the things I love about him. Since day one he's been able to make me smile even when I don't want to. He's downright goofy sometimes and humor is definitely on my list of "gotta haves" in a guy. Anyways we ate till we were full then we left the restaurant headed for the movies to see if there was anything we wanted to watch.

Pad thai, lettuce wraps, green curry w/shrimp, rice, salad w/yummy dressing

:)

Mango sticky rice....I've had better. But I guess this meal was good enough to hold me over till I can actually find a good thai place.

From my fortune cookie. I sure hope so!

His. I had been calling him a werewolf the whole night so this was weird. Does anyone else notice how shiny and clean his nails are? haha

We got to the movies and decided to watch Crazy Stupid Love (see how bad I am at blogging and how bad my memory sucks? I just had to text AJ to remind me what movie we watched...sheesh alzheimers already). We bought our tickets and had about ten minutes until the movie started.

The shopping center we were in, in Draper, had a Sweet Tooth Fairy store just a few stores away. So I BEGGED the BF to take me to get JUST ONE cupcake to SHARE with me. One, because I was already stuffed from dinner and been trying to watch what I eat, but really who can resist a moist yummy sugary tasty cupcake? And share, because I didn't want to feel like a total fatty eating a ball of fat by myself....although by all means, I do definitely know how to do that. LOL no shame. So even though he didn't want a cupcake he took me over there because in his words, "It's your night baby." Seriously what girl wouldn't be happy with a guy who does anything he can to make her happy? This is how he makes me feel. :) Anyways we walked over there and their store is so cute and dainty definitely a girly feel. We decided on the toasted coconut cupcake. It was delish. If you've never had a treat from the sweet tooth fairy....you definitely need to have yourself a little visit. I promise you will not be disappointed!...and if you are...more cupcakes for me! ha.

The cupcake display. Normally it's much fuller, but we came in ten minutes to closing. They have so many different flavors!

The wall says, "You are what you EAT, so eat something CUTE."

He ALWAYS opens door for me :)

We got back to our movie just in time the previews ended and our movie started. It was a good movie. We thought it was funny and we both liked it. Although at one point it started to feel like a long movie. And I'm not sure if that's because the movie was actually long or if it was because we were watching a late movie. Either way we enjoyed it.

At the movies. And yes he's wearing colored contacts. He ran out and had to borrow from his cousin who only had colored ones. If not for her contacts it was either wear glasses or be blind LOL.

After the movie while driving home Keisha Cole - Love came on the radio. And in the delirious hour (after midnight) we both took turns belting out the tune and then came together for the chorus. We were laughing so hard because neither of us are professional singers, if you know what I mean. It was just fun, being goofy together and not being afraid or embarrassed in front of each other.

Scary much? lol see the werewolf? But this is the guy who makes me :)

It wasn't a super amazing creative date or anything, but it was one of those dates where you just feel so relaxed, so comfortable, so YOURSELF. Where you don't do anything out of the ordinary, but you feel your bond grew just a little closer. My official ruling on this is date night success!
