A good film is when the price of the dinner,
the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it.
We didn't get a photo of the two of us in all our dressed up splendor. But Sky and I had a lovely night last night. My dad watched Millie, and we went out on the town for a rare date night. It was misting a cold rain, and our winter jackets came out after wearing shorts just a couple days before, but it was still beautiful.
We went to a small but grand
theater in town (one that
Roger Ebert visits every year, by the way). It was built in 1921, and it's gorgeous. We were there for a showing of Rear Window, one of my favorite movies since it A, features Jimmy Stewart, B, also features Grace Kelly, and C, is an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
So we sat there, popcorn and Skittles in hand, squeezed closer together during the scary part, and had a lovely night. It's so nice to scale back my momness sometimes and focus on just feeling like a wife.
Speaking of which, the ring made yet another appearance, but it was tucked away in his pocket and is still not on my hand.
That man is trying to kill me.

Chambana looks really lovely! I was impressed by your photos even with the rain :)
Date nights are the best! Glad you got to get out and have one! Loving the photos! Oh, before I forget - it clicked the other day why Chambana sounds SO familiar. I totally have family that lives in the area and we attended a wedding that was there! Crazy!
This post made me homesick.
Glad you had such a beautiful night!

Oh my GOSH! What a beautiful little town. The theater is gorgeous. What a treat!! I too love that movie. I am so glad you two got a chance to hand in the mommy and daddy title for a bit and focus of strengthening that wifey and hubby title.
