Valentine's Date Night


 

So, in an attempt to be romantic, this morning, Jose texted to say he was leaving work early and taking me shopping for clothes. After balancing the checkbooks, we got into a text arguement because I said we couldn't afford it and that I really didn't need to buy new clothes, I just needed laundry to be done. He grew upset at me. I was saddened by it all.

Therefore, when he got home, the fight continued slightly, until I was crying because I hate managing our money and said that I don't even like clothes shopping. So, we agreed to grab a nice lunch (since most restaurants tonight would be packed with dates) and he could go buy a couple pairs of jeans and I could buy scrapbooking stuff.

After a lunch at Flat Top and a ton of errands, we went to Big Lots (the best place in the world to buy packets of scrapbook paper, in my opinion) and Burlington Coat Factory. Then, it was time to get Isa and my nephew off the bus, pick up Teo, drop off my nephew, and take the kids to my mom. On our way back towards the house, we got stuck in some major traffic due to a warehouse fire downtown, which led to a very frustrated driver (Jose) and a passenger trying to lighten the mood by cracking bad jokes and playing a game of would you rather (me).

After learning that Jose would rather have his feet double in size than his hands, have a car that ran on urine instead of poop, and a wife with no arms instead of no legs, we arrived at the mall. We did a quick meal at the food court, went to Michaels for more amazing shopping (I got a Cricut cartridge that I'm dying to use, a ton more of paper, and lots of stickers), and to the theater to watch Gnomeo and Juliet (sooo cute!!!).


Then, back home to find an awesome surprise: the neighbors left us a goodie bag with muffins and candy!

What an amazing (early) Valentine's Day! It may be one of the best ever!
