Last night Kelly and I had a night out - always a big deal to me. It's slightly amusing to me that we are at the point when even a night for various shopping excursions to look at and discuss things that we both need to look at but which would bore our children to distraction is considered "a night out." But when we are able go to eat a meal alone and talk uninterrupted for hours on end, it is always a banner night.
It's also funny to us that we are not all that many years away from having a babysitting-aged girl of our own. Our babysitter last night is only 4 years older than Kora!
We also watched a movie after we got back. I give Flyboys 3 stars. It's not an epic film by any means, but I enjoyed watching how they trained these pilots who fought in the Lafayette Escadrilles during World War I. Amazing when you consider all the simulators and computer programs of today. I know the film didn't do that well in the box office or according to some critics, and we wouldn't have gone to the theater to see it, but it was a pleasant rental. :)

Tami, during the years that John was at the Pentagon and also pastoring a church, we lived in the parsonage which was a two-hour commute to the Pentagon. John left at 4:30am and didn't return until 7:30 at night and then had pastoral duties to handle. While he was at work, phone calls were long distance and expensive. No cell phones or email. Weekends were spent in studying and visitation. Needless to say, time together was scarce. No date nights.
We lived in the country and had no trash collection service. Once a week or so, John would borrow an old El Camino from a friend and haul our trash to the county dump 20 miles or so away. I started going with him just so we could talk all the way there and all the way back! It became one of the church jokes that J & C had their date night at the dump!
That's funny! I don't feel nearly so silly now. :)
