Fun day!

Something that's been harder for Richie and I since Miles was born is adjusting to each other! Crazy yes, but our lives have changed drastically and we're still trying to fit in this new stage of life. Such a fun journey. But we have been trying extra hard to focus on each other more, even though there is 3 in our family now. So on Friday, I planned a "date". I made semi-special dinner and laid it out in the living room like a picnic. We ate while Miles slept and then watched "Vertigo" with Jimmy Stewart. We'd never seen it before, but it was kind of a weird show. So, even though Miles was on the date with us, it still felt special.
Then yesterday, Richie went to swing in the morning and I went to a Relief Society activity in the afternoon. When I cam back, Richie was burned out of doing homework and the weather was fair, so we decided to go for a walk. We took Miles and walked a ways up Main street to a craft store so I could buy some buttons. On the way back, we saw a Mexican restaurant we have never been to, and randomly decided to go in. Mind you, since we have been dating Richie and I have only gone out to eat at sit down restaurants 3 times when we've had to pay for it ourselves. So this was VERY out of the ordinary. But Miles was good and we played the game "bananagram" that we bought at the craft store while we waited for our food.
When we got home, we watched "Mr. Smith goes to Washington". Such a better Jimmy Stewart movie. We highly recommend it.
Anyway, every now and then, it's so fun to do out of the ordinary things, and this weekend was one of those! Hooray!

Justin and I have yet to get a babysitter and go on an offical date! Hunter is almost 8 months! Its a good thing he loves to be out and about! Adapting after a baby is so weird. I mean is a wonderful thing, just different because its such a big but awesome change! Its sooo fun!
