celebratory date

Due to my getting sick, our work hours, and J's school schedule, we weren't able to really celebrate our one month anniversary on the actual day. 

So this Saturday we decided that come heck or high water, we were going to go on a date. It was wonderful. We've made the goal to go on a date every week but with weekends being the only day you have together, and having other commitments, they seem to slip away.

This weekend though, we slept in! Which was very much needed. Then got ready for the day and went to Macaroni Grill for lunch.. mmmm. 

Then we went to go see Pitch Perfect at Wynnsong. It was hilarious. We both loved it and laughed ourselves silly. {who says stuff like that?} 

Once the movie was over we noticed there was a little festival going on down in Riverwoods and decided to check it out! There was a petting zoo, games for little kids, and live entertainment. We went in to Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory to get our new favorite treat, chocolate covered frozen cheesecake on a stick. {say that 10 times fast}

So.... yummy.

Then we took some classic funny face pictures.

Exhibit A.

Once we got home we looked up the soundtrack for Pitch Perfect because we LOVED the music in it. (If you haven't seen the preview for the movie, it's about college A Capella groups. So they did lots of A Capella remixes to popular songs. And the best part is they're good) 

There was one song though that we both claimed our favorite. In the movie, the lead girl comes into auditions with a plastic cup and does a rhythm with it and sings a song. Being the music junkies that J and I are, we then spent the next 3 hours learning it. It seemed super easy, but let me tell you.

 It's not. Hence the reason why it took 3 hours to learn it.

We then decided to get fancy and add harmony. 

It's a little rough, but here's what we came up with!

The cup song.

After {somewhat} perfecting the song, we got all dressed up for the upcoming holiday and went to a party! 

I think J made the perfect Waldo, what do you think?

Our attempt at an actual, "Where's Waldo" picture.... :)

It was a wonderful date and weekend. It's always great getting to spend quality time with the one you love.

Now we will both go back to work, and J will be avidly studying for his chemistry test this week.

Here's to the weekends!
