another memory for the books

Sunday, May 22, 2011

It seems that the most unconventional dates are the ones that I actually remember. We're out visiting our parents for the weekend and could hardly justify ignoring the chance to get out as a couple. The problem is it's raining quite a lot here, making any outdoor plans a little less favourable in our eyes. What's more, the city we're in runs quite short on indoor activities - except the movie theatre, which is the last place we wanted to go. Necessity proved to be the mother of invention last night, however, and a great date was had.

It started with some yummy pizza at Boston Pizza (half buffalo chicken (with blue cheese!) and half Greek), progressed to (overpriced (majorly)) blizzards at DQ, and ended with a movie on our laptop in the back of our van in a park. Strange? maybe. Memorable? definitely! 

If you ignore the fact that my husband is now incapacitated on the couch from some violent illness that struck him all of a sudden last night, it was a really terrific evening. (That may have been an invitation to pray for healing.) I'm getting the opportunity to play doctor for him, although I think I would rather have avoided the whole practice.

  1. I hope Joey is feeling better now and has regained his strength, and that the rest of you have stayed healthy throughout this!

  2. Thanks, Criston! Everyone seems to have come through it okay. Joey's finally gotten his energy back, and no one else seems to have suffered any of the symptoms. Praise God!
