Date Night

On Saturday evening, with an excited spring in our step, Scott and I toddled off into the sunset. It's been a little over four years since we sat across the table from one another, in a restaurant, just the two of us. We have each shared night's out with friends independently and a handful of times been out with groups of friends together. But this was the first time alone, as a couple, sans kidlets. And our first official 'date night' felt good. Better than good. Tremendous!

There are some deeelicious options for dining out in our area. We are spoilt for choice. Though we decided to go with an old favourite, being Thai. No interruptions, plenty of conversation, a balmy Autumn evening. Perfecto! Post dinner, we rolled (literally, as we were full to the brim) on down to a local pub to check out the scene. Lots of reminiscing was enjoyed as we bounced around the place. From chatting in the beer garden, to having a chuckle at just how old we felt in the night club, to bopping along with the live band in the pub. Beer and Malibu & pineapple flowing (I had to relent to my Malibu urges, it has the uncanny ability to take me straight back in time). We arrived home just before midnight, tired, happy and completely buzzing. After four years, it's comforting to realise that nothing much has changed... precisely where it counts. I love the love we have.

  3. Oh, a date night! How spectacular! I'm so glad you went out-out, and not just to the movies and straight home. So excited that you had a great time and didn't feel the need to rush home. I love that you had Malibu. Gosh that takes ME back as well!

    I hope you plan another one soon. Our neighbour has just gotten old enough for some babysitting and so we're out much more than we use to be! xx

  6. Just brilliant.
    We're constantly saying how we should organise ourselves a 'date night' - but haven't got around to it for a while now.
    Sounds like the perfect night - now don't wait another four years!
    I love that blurry, lovey pic of you two.

  16. Oh my goodness, if I still lived in Sydney I would promptly park myself on your doorstep and usher you two out the door while I look after the young men so you could have more nights out like this!!! I really hope you can do this again soon. You too are so cute :-D
