Long overdue date night!

FINALLY, Terry and I got to go out someplace that we didn't have to order two kids' meals! Last night we celebrated our 9th anniversary by going to dinner, a movie, and a bar for drinks. It was so nice! Terry being a Chef and all cannot take these corporate places for dining (pretty much any restaurant in Cincinnati has some kind of corporate backing), but we managed to find one that he liked more than he disliked! We went to Mitchells' Fish Market in West Chester were we dined on oysters from the raw bar, swordfish (me) and rare yellowfin tuna (Terry) and for dessert their banana rum bread pudding with cappucinos. It was the perfect meal! So perfect that we couldn't finish all our dessert (which we split) and we didn't even want to hear the word "popcorn" when we got to the theater. We saw Superbad by the way, which was HYSTERICAL! We laughed so hard, and kept laughing about certain lines from the movie all night long. We ended our evening at Shooters, a new bar and grill in Loveland, where I had my first ever whisky sour, which wasn't bad.

Back to the movie....I've always considered myself more conservative or even mature at times, and when I saw American Pie all those years ago, it wasn't one of my faves. However, this movie was truly funny, and you couldn't help but laugh even at the "so stupid it's funny" parts. Add that to sitting next to your husband of nine years and realize that you are both still silly and child-like sometimes, and you have the perfect evening.

We slept in today until 9:30 and got up and went to an old standby from our dating years, Perkins. We even remembered we went there the day after we got married, when we met up with all the out of town family and friends that had attended our wedding, before we headed out to our honeymoon. How cool!
