On Saturday night Matt and I went out without Ripley, on an actual date! This was the second time we've been out on a date since she was born and she is about to be 9 months old. How sad is that!? This is one of those downsides of not living close to family. We're hoping as she gets older and we meet more people in the area, our baby-sitter options will start to increase (let's hope so anyway, for the sake of our sanity!).
So I know you are dying to know what we did and who made our date happen, so I'll go ahead and end the suspense. We went to see a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse, which is a theater very close to our house which has a full menu of food & drinks (a wide beer selection & even margarita's) for you to enjoy while you sit back and watch a movie. For those of you familiar with the Brew N View in Chicago, it's even better than that, because you don't need to leave your seat, servers come to you instead! You write down your order on a piece of paper so there's not a bunch of talking involved and the server comes around and fills your request. It's a great way to enjoy a movie! Especially when it's the first movie you've seen in a theater since your baby was born!
We saw I Am Legend with Will Smith. I didn't realize how scary it would be - not monster type scary, but jumpy type scary. I screamed more than once and grabbed onto Matt while in the theater, thankfully it was very loud so only the guy next to me probably heard. There were a few parts of the movie that didn't make complete sense, but if you overlook those I would say it was a pretty good movie. Great to see in the theater. Kinda similar to the movie 28 Days (similar plot), but not creepy & gruesome like that and shot different too. 28 Days is definitely a better film, so don't think I am saying the 2 are on the same playing field, just trying to give you an idea of what the movie is like. If you see both films, I think you'll understand what I'm trying to say, otherwise I probably don't make much sense. ; )
So we had a great time on our date, it felt so GOOD to get out without the baby and feel like real adults. It was much needed. And our friend Megan is the one who made it all possible. So a big THANK YOU to her for offering to take care of Ripley for us and to Jason who kept her company while doing so. You both ROCK!!!
