Last night was date night! The Darlings partied it up by making Zucchini Pizza Boats, eating our homemade soup from the night before, and catching up on our TV shows (House, Up All Night, New Girl; we didn't make it to Glee). Really adventurous, I know.
Our original plan was to volunteer at Food for Thought with another couple but due to illness and snow [I know! It only decides to snow when we try to volunteer at Food for Thought!] we camped out at home. We really enjoyed our time together, especially since Kyle is leaving on Monday for Mexico. I was pretty exhausted and went to bed around 10:15pm. Kyle was apparently wide awake, so he: watched his TV shows, and put the new plates on my car!!!
I had spent 2 hours driving around town and standing in lines yesterday to register my [new] car, and I really didn't want to have to put the plates on by myself. I asked Kyle if he would, and he said of course. I definitely did not expect him to do it between the hours of 11pm and 4am! In addition to changing the plates in the dark, it was apparently snowing pretty hard after I went to bed and it was really windy. It really is the little things in life that make me extra excited and happy. I mean...who knew putting on my license plates in the middle of the snowy night would make me so happy?
I feel like our "date night" carried on today because we both slept in, and then I made us omelettes. Kyle is not really a breakfast person. Not because he's not hungry in the morning, but because he doesn't really like breakfast foods (oatmeal, cereal, pancakes, eggs, etc.). I put together an omelette with: chopped mushrooms, shredded pepper jack cheese, egg whites, dried basil, pepper, and salt. We put our little omelettes on some bread and had a side of MorningStar Maple Sausages***. I wasn't sure how the maple would taste with the omelette so I left it on the side, but Kyle loved it and added them to his sandwich. I'm pretty proud of myself. Kyle liked it and said he'd even be interested in eating it again. Best-wife-ever points? I think so.
And for the rest of the day? Ohhh I dunno...studying?
***Kyle & I aren't vegetarians, so you might be wondering why we have random vegetarian items in our fridge. We have several MorningStar products in our freezer because my sister, Emily, is a vegetarian and since she's finishing her last year of undergrad while living at home, my mom stocks up on things like MorningStar veggie patties for her. For some reason, my mom also has the {awesome} habit of accidentally buying the wrong patties. Since Emily only likes a certain one, we get the "wrong" ones! Score!
