Perry and I went on a date last night....the first time in a long time. For the past few months, our Friday nights have been spent cheering for Ben and his friends at the high school football games. Even though it was sad to see the season end, Perry and I can now enjoy some much needed time together.
I've been wanting to see the movie Fireproof, but according to the listings, we would have to drive to the Des Moines area to see it. Since we want to keep our date nights inexpensive, we decided to skip dinner out at a restaurant. The snow flew in the air as we drove and we were amazed at the recent change in the weather. It would have been a bad night to sit on bleachers watching a football game!
The Jordan Creek theater is huge and impressive with it's fancy concession stand area and stadium theater seating. After paying $9 apiece for the tickets and buying the $6 bag of popcorn, we laughed at what was happening to our cheap evening! How do people afford to go to the movies on a regular basis??
Fireproof was an awesome movie with an excellent message for couples at any stage of married life. Even though there were many other shows we could have seen, at theaters much closer to home, making the drive to see that one felt like a positive investment for our relationship. A box of Junior Mints would have been nice, but other than that....it was a perfect evening!
