date night.

tim and i had a wonderful date night last week

it was also a much needed date night

as we had a pretty rough week

it was good to reconnect after the chaos

we made ourselves look nice and smell good and headed downtown

first up was eclipse (again)

tim thought it was the best so far

we had a good discussion about what makes the bella and the cullens compelling in the books. he has had a hard time understanding what makes bella worth loving/fighting/dying for. i believe that some of the greatest love stories lack a good explanation for this (the christian one by far is the most powerful in my mind), but it did open his eyes to how others see her in the story. he really enjoyed the fact that jasper and rosalie's stories were told.

i'm lucky to have a husband who is willing to enjoy and share in things that i love.

makes date night a lot more fun!

after the movie we enjoyed some spaghetti factory.

it was delicious and affordable!

so a picture of us before we headed out:

and a funny story:

as we were getting ready to head out the door tim picked up his iPhone to post a status update about date night. he was going to post that tim spanburg was conditioning his beard which could only mean one thing... date night with his hot wife. well he forgot to do something: check to make sure he was actually logged into his facebook profile and not mine. so this is what ended up on my wall:

Misty 'Mason' Spanburg Has conditioned his beard...which can only mean one thing...date night with his ho wife!

:O

cracked us up. i don't know how the ho got in there. maybe it was his phone's crappy auto correct? maybe just a typo... but our worship pastor bill the lepper has officially started calling me tim's ho wife.

:P

well i'm off to finish dinner. tonight: turkey sausage breakfast casserole, but made with half egg substitute and half real eggs. we'll see how it turns out! i also got some honeydew that i can't wait for tim to cut open because it is stinking up the house right now. a really sweet lady from church, thelma, brought us some cucumbers and green beans for her garden so i think i'll be tossing a salad as well!

have a lovely :)
