date night!

michael and i finally found a girl in the ward to babysit

and finally planned a date for last night

here's the note michael wrote me in the morning

(he writes me notes every morning and it's my favorite thing)

he didn't have time to leave it in the morning so he texted it to me instead

 on our way out!

we drove michael's little car instead of the van so we could feel young and carefree :)

 we went to the sweet outdoor mall near our house called the village

and sat in the VIP section of the movie theater 

where you can order food from a real sit down restaurant and eat it while you watch the movie

we saw The Giver (it was so good!)

and ate mac & cheese, pulled pork sliders with fries,

 a salad and a slice of chocolate cake

it was super fun

we loved it

it was so nice to go out on a date

we even left henry with the sitter so it was just us 

i love spending time with michael

and not having to juggle five children at the same time

the sitter did great

so we'll definitely be going out again soon!
