Date Night

Saturday we went on a date. We have a date night swap worked out with a couple in the ward. We watch their kids one weekend and they watch Tate the next so we each get to have dates without kiddos in tow. I have really enjoyed it! I don't care what we do, it's just so so nice to be alone with my honey and to get out.

Last Saturday we didn't have anything specific planned. We went to get Tate a book for his Easter Basket, had a delicious dinner at Panera, stopped at the fabric store so I could take advantage of a sale, and then decided to go test drive cars. Nope, we're not going to be buying one any time soon, but it sounded like a fun (and FREE) date night activity. So we called our friends to ask them look up dealers nearby and then wound up at an Acura dealership. Glenn drove. We wound around for a while, enjoyed the new car smell and the pretty interior. So many buttons. Glenn tested the pick up, not super impressed. We were headed back to the dealership and missed the exit so we tried to circled around and missed it again. So we're winding around for the third time, trying to find our way on the back roads, getting frustrated and quite lost, and we see police lights in the rear view mirror. Yep, pulled over for speeding. Glenn had to take care of a speeding ticket over the Christmas break to get it off his record so being pulled over again was really bad news. The policeman let Glenn know that he was going way too fast (I'll spare you the details) and got after us/the dealership for not having the correct papers on the car. Then he called the dealership to make sure we hadn't stolen it. Poor Glenn was so stressed out. I won't say he's the only one who speeds in our relationship, but he is the only one who has been caught so far, so he felt bad. After a very long wait, the policeman came back and gave us a warning. Oh my stars that was a close call. I was sitting there in the car thinking, "If he gives us a ticket that will just ruin the whole night". But he didn't, so now it's just a funny story.
