Great Date!

My husband grew another year older, and as a celebration I decided to take him out to dinner and a movie. We were thinking Red Lobster, because it's a Tuesday and we have bills due LOL (and we love Red Lobster). So we got dressed up and got ready to go.

Unfortunately, because we had to pick up a cheerleader and a football player from practice at two different schools, we did not have enough time to do dinner AND a movie. So we stood and discussed it, and he decided that he really, REALLY wanted to see "The Expendables 3," so we went to the movie and did Steak 'n Shake afterwards.

The Expendables was very good. It was more actual movie and less cheesy catch-phrases. As a chick, I really enjoyed it.

Steak 'n Shake was pretty awesome, too. I tried the Royale, but I hate American cheese, so I asked if they could put cheddar on it, and they did, and it was AWESOME. If you're going to be bad, that's a pretty good way to do it ;).

Then we headed home. There are two large towns around where we live, and we were in the smaller of the two, D-. It isn't the biggest town in the world, but it is a decent size, so imagine our surprise when we were heading down the main street, the street with all the businesses and all the nicer houses, we saw two enormous deer! Two huge bucks wandering down what is essentially downtown D- was amazing to me. Luckily they stayed on the sidewalk. :)

We had taken our convertible out, and on our way home we got stopped by a train (that happens out here in cornland). The train was moving super slow; in fact, it seemed to be stopping, but it was okay, because that was when we noticed that the sky was CRYSTAL CLEAR and you could see the milky way and the leftover meteors from the perseids would occasionally streak the sky. It was amazing! One shooting star lasted a couple of seconds and looked to be orange with a pink tinge. Then we looked to the South and saw that the enormous thunder clouds we had seen while it was daylight were still there, and they were lighting up the night sky on the horizon. It was SO BEAUTIFUL!! I was sorely tempted to pull over and just keep watching the sky: I'd watch the thundercloud for a while and then watch the stars for a while. But eventually the train finally passed and it was nearing midnight so we headed home. (No pictures because I was driving, helloooo!!)

I don't know about my husband, but I had a GREAT NIGHT!!

So of course I wanted to share it with you guys! ><
