Mini Morning Date!

This morning, Jason and I had a little morning date! We got up early at went to Starbucks to use one of the giftcards my students gave me. (Sidenote: I NEVER got presents as a high school teachers. I don't even have my own class now, and I got 3 gifts this year. Awesome.)

Then we drove up to the Flatirons Mall to see a movie! We saw X-Men First Class, and it was fantastic. I highly recommend it, even if you aren't a giant nerd like me. It was a really fun action movie.

While we were waiting for the movie to start, we stopped into Crate & Barrel, one of our favourite home stores. Of course, we found a million things that we loved and had to have for our house... but we only bought one thing. Well, one set of things.

Oh my word, is this not the cutest little dog bowl ever? Yeah, we only shopped for Kingsley. The amazing news about him is: He ate out of the bowl! That's right, our little prissy dog that only eats off a placemat ate out of a bowl today. Hallelujah. We got him two bowls, one green and one white, and an adorable plastic placemat to put them on. But he's eating out of the bowl now. That's what's happening.

After the movie, we went and had lunch at Chick Fil A! Now, for all you Texas folks, this probably doesn't sound very exciting. But in the Denver area, we happen to live in a giant gaping hole that lacks a close Chick Fil A. There are three... and they're all at least a 25 minute drive from us, which means if you go pick up food, it's gross by the time you get home. My friend Tiff and I actually just go drive to Chick Fil A sometimes just to get lemonade or fries. So it was a nice treat to get to go to Chick Fil A and actually eat the food hot.

I'm so happy to be out for the summer so I can actually have these fun days with Jason! His new semester of grad school started today, so it may not be super frequent, but I'm thankful for the time we get together.
