Our First Date
Mummy absolutely loves this time of year when its so chilly that you just want to huddle together for some warmth. Mummy loves walking down the street in the middle of a winter night to feel the brisk cold air. WHY? Simply because it is during this time of year was when Mummy and Daddy went to Paris for the very first time!
Well, to be exact, it was over the Christmas holiday. Still, it was memorable to us both! Of course, Daddy is the complete opposite on the winter weather, hates the cold like no man's business but still, the winter does bring back warm and fond memories for us!
So for a winter chilly night, Mummy & Daddy finally went out on a date! YES, you read it correctly. A DATE! Just the two of us. No Erik. No Grandpa Tom. No Grandma Katy. Just Daddy & Mummy! Sure, we've been to the movies before (seldom) alone but it was always a rushed event and we never really get to talk to one another. It's really just parallel "vegetating" together. Nothing wrong with that either but for this winter night, it was out of the norm for us. Boy! Did we really needed a date bad! LOL
We went out to a semi-upscale California French Restaurant on a Friday night after work, the closest French we can get out here, I guess. The ambiance was definitely date night material with warm glowing candles everywhere. A romantic fireplace in the middle of the restaurant and for those brave enough to dine al fresco, a fire pit was also available. Guitarist playing up some music in the background. We had a fabulous time! Our conversations was not consumed by 100% of Erik. We still had things to talk about BESIDES Erik! LOL! That's pretty awesome! In reality, our little boo boo only crept in a little bit here and there in the conversation (but it doesn't mean we didn't miss him)
Our dinner date lasted quite a long time, we even noticed people that came after us left before us. That's so good! We didn't even bicker or argue or get on each other's nerves, which is pretty usual when you've been married for so long! LOL! Both Mummy & Daddy just really needed some time together to talk the night away, and reminisced a bit of our Parisian nights!
When dessert was served, both of us didn't want the night to end so quickly yet and return home yet. We made a quick call to our babysitters, Grandpa Tom & Grandma Katy, and they reported everything was okay with our little baby. So we decided to hit the movie theaters to watch the Disney's Enchanted movie together. We've been wanting to see it since it came out but just never had the time or the chance. The movie was great! It was quite funny and hilarious at times. Definitely a recommend!
All in all, our "First Date" (as in real date) after Erik was born (an almost whopping 20 months afterwards), was absolutely wonderful and great! Now, we just need to schedule these "Date Nights" to be a little more regularly instead of once ina blue moon deal :o) Hahaha!

Date nights are the best! Not that we don't miss our little darlings, but it is so nice to reconnect with our spouses and see that we've "still got it". :)
