Husband and Wife Date

The upcoming weekends are going to be horribly busy for both Andy and myself, so we decided to take full advantage of our last peaceful weekend for awhile. Here's what we did.

Friday - went out to dinner.

Saturday - saw The Maze Runner at our favorite movie theater (with the recliners). I had finished the book earlier that day... the movie didn't follow the book at all so that was a little disappointing.

Sunday - Husband and Wife date! The Wine and Culinary Center was having a "Harvest Festival" and I had signed us up for some cooking classes. We made a vegan roasted vegetable stew and some pork. Everything turned out really well and we had a lot of fun!

Time for pork!

The finished product - delicious!

Needless to say our trip to the Culinary Center sparked our desire to cook more at home. Last night we made this really delicious recipe I found on Pinterest.

Sausage and Tortellini

It definitely wasn't the healthiest thing we've ever made, but it sure tasted good!! Sundays and Mondays are definitely my favorite days because we have time to make/eat dinner together. :-)

Looking ahead - this week I have my usual work schedule for Job #1 and #2. On Wednesday I get to go to a special anniversary party at Job #2 for people who have worked 5 years or more, so that is kind of cool. Andy's playing concerts on Thursday and Saturday night. And on Sunday I have to observe a youth orchestra rehearsal (barf). When will I find time to watch Parks and Rec?! ;-)
