Strawberry picking

Tomorrow Neal & I are going strawberry picking! I've never been and I'm super excited. He wants to get a lot for cheap so he can make jam. And I am hoping to convince him to whip up a batch of strawberry custard that we can churn into ice cream. After his last ice cream experiment, things are looking good.

I also get to celebrate a lovely friend who is getting married in 21 days! The festivities are a surprise to the charming bride, so I can't give any more details. But I'm so looking forward to having fun with her and the rest of the ladies.

And, as if this weekend couldn't get any better, Neal & I are finally heading to the newly opened Chick-fil-a this evening for dinner! You might remember I was just a little excited for it to open.

To top it all off, we get to enjoy the Fountain Square Art Festival in downtown Evanston on Sunday after church. And then see a showing of X-Men: First Class with some fellow Virginians. What a wonderful weekend ahead! Do you have any fun plans?

Extemporaneous Date Night

I finally get to see Bridesmaids tonight! I've heard great things about it for weeks. And I'm even a bridesmaid in one of my best friend's wedding next month, so it seems fitting. Plus, my brother even this about it after seeing it:

"Just saw Bridesmaids. Funniest movie you never saw, unless of course you have seen it. Then it's just the funniest movie you never saw with me. Unless you're my wife, then none of this applies to you, except the part about seeing the movie, because you were there." -J.W. Porter

 

Wouldn't you want to see it after reading that?!  

 

Today I'm in the mood to have a good laugh. So Neal & I set up an impromptu date night. We're going to grab a quick bite and then head to the theatre. I love weekday dates! They feel so luxurious. And definitely make the work-week go by faster. Tell me about some of the best weekday dates you've had.
