First Dates

I really want to be a good blogger. I read other people's blog like its my job but have been lazy about updating my blog that my husband is so much better at. I too have stories and experiences to tell but find myself becoming self conscious when I sit down to write. I am determined to get better even though there may be only 3 people ever reading this.

Tonight brought back a lot of fond memories. Jason and I went to Magianno's for the first time since we had our first date there over 8 years ago. We were living in Los Angeles and went to Magianno's then saw Black Hawk Down (not the best date movie, but with the best date). As we enjoyed our dining experience there I got to thinking about how different things are 8 years later.

1. While waiting for our table, Jason decided to pull out his iPhone and take a "cleavage shot" of me because my tank top was unusually low cut (it's 100 degrees people). 1st date Jason was sweet enough to open doors and maybe (?) held my hand in the movie theater. I guess I am flattered.

2. Also while waiting for our table, we got bored, made up a word game, then went on to play it through our salad course. I remember our conversation being a little more formal and nervous all those years ago....I think there may have been a few awkward silences as well.

3. Jason and I split an entree! We laugh that pre-me, "Jason doesn't share food". He has always eaten a lot and a little territorial about his food. I didn't even have to ask tonight, I knew what I wanted before we got there and he gladly shared and even had leftovers for tomorrow.

4. We realized we were out of milk on the way home and had to stop by Target...very romantic.

5. And the best difference between now and then....we ended the night under the same roof in the same bed all this by 10:30 on a Saturday night.
