Date Nights!

I don't know about the rest of you married folk, but Chris and I have found that our "date nights" have turned into sitting on the couch playing on our phones and taking a break to periodically look up at the show we're supposed to be watching. Romantic, right?! Wrong! Which is why we decided that for our family night activity tonight we were going to sit and jot down fun date night ideas together.

Now I know there are a lot of lists on Pinterest for date night ideas, but have you read some of them? Some of the ideas just make me cringe and get awkward tingles. One list suggested "Have a rapping contest together," or "draw each other with your eyes closed." Yeah, umm hi! Who really does that?

Anyway, Chris and I decided to put our heads together and list things that WE would actually want to do. I'm so excited! So without further adieu, here is our list of date nights!

-Go ice skating and get hot chocolate

-Go to the Living Planet Aquarium

-Temple night + dinner

-Su Casa (it's a Mexican restaurant in Salt Lake that Chris LOVES) + a Jazz game

-Laser tag at Trafalga

-Build a fort and watch a Redbox

-Water Gardens movie + Sonic hot chocolate (Sonic keeps telling me to go try one of their 6 premium hot chocolates)

-Go see the lights at Temple Square

By the way, we are aware of the fact that most of our dates consist of getting some type of food. The couple that weighs together stays together?
