Friday = Date Night

Yesterday we enjoyed a fun date night - and all free! We had a gift card to The Cheesecake Factory (one of my favorite places) so we went for dinner. Because it was a Friday night and we picked The Cheesecake Factory, the hostess informed us that the wait for two was approx 50 minutes. Holy cow! Good thing that restaurant is located right by Fashion Place mall. To use up some time, we went to a few stores in the mall where I got a new shirt from Zumiez (also free, courtesy of another gift card). After a couple more glances through stores, we made our way back to the restaurant.

Just as we exited the mall doors, the restaurant beeper went off. That was lucky, since it had only been about 40 minutes and there isn't reception for that thing inside the mall. We sat down for our tasty dinners, Chicken Bellagio (me), and Carbonara (matt). I seriously love that restaurant! I could eat everything there.

After dinner we headed to Dollar Tree for some goodies for the movie we were going to. No gift card here, so I guess our date last night really was about $2 instead of free. With 2 boxes of Sour Patch Kids hidden in my purse, we bought our tickets (with another gift card) for Date Night, and waited in line to get in the theater; haven't done that in a while. Those Megaplex theaters sure knew what they were doing when they decided to do reserved seating. I like that better.

Anywho, we really liked the movie. I thought it was going to be funny, but I didn't expect it to make me laugh as much as it did. At one point I got worried I was laughing to much or too loud, but then I realized pretty much the whole theater was doing the same. I definitely recommend this movie, especially if you're a Steve Carell fan. And honestly, who doesn't like Mark Wahlberg with his shirt off?
