2 dates in one week!

Tyler and I were able to go out twice this week, without any children! That's a record for us.

On Thursday night we were invited to La Vigna in American Fork. We won a drawing, to invite 3 other couples, to listen to a fire safety demonstration. But we got to eat for free! And at La Vigna! which is a pretty good Italian restaurant (hey, even Tyler likes it and my sister's Italian/Albanian boyfriend likes it too!). I don't know if I am a fan of the service. We went once before and I left my leftovers on the table and my server was chatting w/other servers instead of chasing after me to return my food. I always did that as a server, the latter. If someone left their food by mistake I would run after them to give it to them instead of throw it away. I was really ticked that I left it bcse I purposeflly saved half of it to eat the next day!

Anyway, we hired a babysitter (about the 3rd time we've had to since we've had kids) from the ward. She did a really great job and doesn't charge too much! I was really happy to know that we can go out more often and it won't break our bank.

Then on Friday night my sister's sister-in-law babysat for us so that we could go to an organ festival at the Madeleine Cathedral. It was really relaxing, even on the nearly 100 year old wooden benches. It's a beautiful church and if you ever get bored during a sermon or concert you can just look at the stained glass windows or painted saints on the walls. Even though Saint Joan was like a foot taller than the saint next to her....wasn't she like 14 years old? I thought it was bit exaggerated but kind of fun to see someone wearing armor in a church.

So, it was really fun to be able to go out so much this week! What a treat! And I was tagged about Tyler so I"ll blog about that later :)
