Our date last night

Steve's taking a nap, so I figured I had a little bit of time for another entry. I just have to blog about last night...it was AMAZING! =) When I was grocery shopping Thursday afternoon I found some marinating steaks on sale for only 3 dollars (for 2 large steaks). I could not pass them up! They were gorgeous, big, & didn't have much fat at all on them. And they were well before their expiration date. So since Friday night is our "date night" I figured I could use them then.

You see, we recently started a tradition of making Friday nights really special & just for the two of us, to keep our marriage alive. It's actually an old tradition we used to do & had to stop w/Cory's old schedule but now we can do it again. We stopped eating out AT ALL any times other then Friday night, so that by itself makes it something special, a little insentive to look forward to the nights when I have a choice of not cooking. We have been keeping Steve with us because we haven't really been able to afford a babysitter, but once we have some more extra money we plan to start letting him stay w/a babysitter for a couple hours those nights & we do something really romantic & special just the two of us. Last night we ate the steaks. I marinated them in KC Masterpiece Steakhouse marinate then broiled them. They turned out PERFECT. I also made some mashed potatoes, gravy, & brocolli w/Velveeta cheese. It was a great meal. We ate it together in the dining room w/Steve (who ate mashed potatoes, a tiny bit of gravy, the brocolli, & one bite of steak) then went into the living room & cuddled up for a romantic comedy (Just Like Heaven). It was a seriously picture-perfect night & I couldnt ask for more. =)))

Now I just have to plan for next week's date...maybe going out to a nice restaurant? I'm not sure yet...

Today's been like any other Saturday. Cory's working noon to midnight and I'm home w/Steve. We have a new customer coming over later & since Cory's working, I have to take care of him by myself... I'm a little nervous since this is usually Cory's thing; I take care of the paperwork aspect & Cory does the actual jobs, but we'll see how I do. =)
