Dates, dates and more dates...

Payton doing a little painting on our latest date.
Married exactly 10 years this evening. Dinner at the Garlic Rose.
Fancy desserts at KoKoa.
Borders date - ahh, what a calm evening.  So good for my soul.
Dinner at Ale Haus on the Riverwalk.
Shot of the crowd at the Movies on the Lawn - Philbrook.
Us watching Pride and Prejudice.
Our view of the movie screen.
Our friends are starting to get sick of us saying, "well, we can't tonight because we have a date!"  Seriously, it has been really great to spend three hours a week together and without children.  AND we have decided that this must NOT end.  Well maybe not every week, but certainly we are going to let the grandparents watch the girls every other week so that we can dance and romance each other.

Pictured in this blog is so far our most favorite date.  We went and watched "Pride and Prejudice" on the lawn at Philbrook Museum.  It was incredible.  What a beautiful night, full of beautiful people, music, scenes and moments.  We were definitely newbies to this because we did not bring our own personal picnic several hours before the movie actually started.  But now that we know, this will be a MUST on the summer outings for the Peevyhouse family.  And talk about a seriously dedicated audience...these people did not make a sound once the movie started!!  It was definitely one of the most memorable moments of the summer.

On our actual anniversary we went to the Garlic Rose for dinner and had one of the most flavorful and rich meals we have had in a LONG time.  Then after dinner we walked across the way to KoKoa-a chocolatier, and had even more rich ( both $$$ and flavor) chocolate that I have ever put in my mouth.  A very fancy shmancy place - I honestly could not even pronounce the chocolate that I was ordering.  I felt totally Okie.

Another shot on here is our date to Border's bookstore.  Clay and I have quite an obsession with books.  So one of our dates was a quick dinner to Charleston's and then some quite plowing through books for the rest of our time.  It was WONDERFUL and we honestly could have spent another 3 hours there without even thinking of going home.

And the latest of dates was a work at home date.  Mom came and hung out with the girls while we painted the living room.  YES, the tree is gone, but soon to be painted again somewhere else in the house.

So we have about 3 dates left, but those won't happen for another two weeks because we are going on vacation late next week and will be gone for a week!!!
grace and peace,
h
