Dates!

I have taken it upon myself to carve out some date time for John and I over the next month. It seems like forever since we've seen a movie in the theater (I can't even remember one).

Last weekend, we visited John's family in the Wisconsin heartland and we got to kick off our date string with a fabulous dinner at a local co-op. We expected the restaurant to be casual, but it was quite mod and chic. I want to try to re-create the pasta I had---some fancy linguine-type pasta with a Havarti cream sauce, pistachios, basil, and chicken. Yum, yum, yum.

It would also be nice to get out of our comfort zone and do something exciting on one of our upcoming dates. My friend is a local improv actress; I'll have to see if she has any shows coming up.
