Date Night!

Rick and I got to go out twice this week! And we owe a HUGE thank you to my cousin, Allison, and my sister-in-law, Jessica!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :)

Wednesday night Rick was invited to a dinner put on my Intermountain Healthcare for all those who had been accepted to medical school for this coming year. They fed us a very nice dinner (salad, a roll, some sort of delicious chicken and rice entree and an incredible raspberry dessert!) and gave a presentation. Their presentation was basically saying that they want doctors to move back to Utah after they finish their schooling and gave us a bunch of reasons why Utah is such a great place to live and work. Anyway, it was really fun to go out to dinner with Rick, without any kids. Thank you Allison for being willing to watch Kimbri and Garrett for us while we attended the dinner. 

Oh, and they also gave each future medical school student a $30 gift card to Barnes and Noble AND a $30 gift card to Olive Garden. Wahoo!! 

.......

Then last night, Jessica came over after she got off work and babysat for us. We had to run a couple errands and then went out to dinner at Olive Garden, again, thanks to Jessica! She gave Rick an Olive Garden gift card for his birthday last month.  

It was about a 30 minute wait so we walked across several parking lots to The Quarry - a rock climbing place - and picked up a $10 gift card that I won. Then we still had time to kill so we wandered through Shopko. We looked at the toddler underwear to try and find some "Dora the Explorer" underwear for Kimbri. We found some... but they were $10 just for 3 pair! So we'll look to see if Walmart is cheaper. If not, she will have to do with plain underwear. I was just thinking that it might be a good way to get her to understand not to pee in her panties, you know, saying something like, "Kimbri, you can't peepee on Dora, ok?" Haha! Anyway, we'll see what happens.

Anyway..... I got a little side-tracked there. But right as we were leaving Shopko, our buzzer rang so we booked it across the parking lot back to Olive Garden. As always, the food was way delicious!! I had a strawberry smoothie and vegetable lasagna and Rick got raspberry lemonade and the chicken alfredo pizza. We both tried food we haven't ever tried there before and it was great! And of course we got the free breadsticks and soup/salad that comes with the meal. Yummy!

It  was sooooooooooo fun to go out on a date with just the two of us. I love our kiddos but it was nice to just get to completely relax and spend some time together. So thank you Jessica for babysitting for us!!
