steppin' out 8-3-12 // date night

What do you get when your daughters reach the age where they actually want to leave you so they can go & play with their Mawmaw and Mamie & Pawpaw?

A sad momma (well, kinda. she doesn't HAVE to keep saying "but i want to leave!! like now, mommy!") but more importantly, date night!

Last Friday while Brooklyn had a sleepover with her cousin Hadley at Dustin's parents house & while Emily had a pool party for 2 with my mom (seriously, this girl is a fearless fishie), Dustin & I got out for a simple date night. Steak sandwiches at Charley's (artery clogging deliciousness at it's finest here, friends) followed by a drink & dessert at the good ol' OG, and then {obviously} to Target {for theater contraband, of course. we were gorged full of food but what's a movie without watermelon sour patch?!}, and finally to the movie theater. It feels like we've been waiting for.ev.er to watch this and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The ending? Amazing.

But? I gotta say. The Dark Knight is still my absolute favorite. I liked the story much much more. My husband on the other hand?

"Best movie I've seen in a long time. Actually, probably ever."
"Yeah I teared up. You didn't?!"
"My palms were sweating that whole time."
"I could go right back in & watch it again."
"....Do you want to?"

We didn't. My buttcheeks were numb enough for sitting there for over 3 hours. And we were out of candy.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, as well. I'm reeeeeally hoping these next 4 days go by quick! I've got a lil' something planned for this weekend {i'm totally vague-booking right now, but blog suspense is fun, no?}
