The Daily Hailey

Brady and I were lucky enough to get a date night tonight!! Thanks to my parents for babysitting 🙂 I wanted to take him on a birthday date, and today was it! My parents came at 4:00 and we left shortly thereafter. I have a couple of cute pictures but considering the time, I’ll maybe post them tomorrow. No time or energy to wait for them to load onto my laptop and fuss with getting them on here. But we both got dressed up all cute, and headed to the city.

We went to the Keg for supper. It may seem a bit cliche, but there’s a story behind it! Brady and I went to the Keg exactly one week before we got married. We each ordered a steak, and Brady liked mine better. Not a big deal, though, right? Oh but it was. We have tried once or twice to get back to the Keg over the years, but since they don’t take reservations on the weekend, and since we don’t get too terribly many date nights, it just hasn’t happened. Brady has tried to recreate this steak at other restaurants, but every time he asks for blue cheese, they give him a side of blue cheese salad dressing. And that is NOT the same. So for his birthday, I wanted him to FINALLY get a shot at this elusive blue cheese steak.

Well, myyyyy goodness! We both got that blue cheese, bacon wrapped steak. And we both ate every bite. They were sooo very melt in your mouth delicious. I can rarely eat such a large steak in one sitting, but it was just all of a sudden gone! Who knew! It was SO good. Worth every cent, no question. Our server was great, and the food was better. Thats saying a lot. We didn’t even walk out feeling weighed down, like tends to happen when a person overeats. It was just perfect.

I took Brady to a movie afterwards. I won’t even share which it was. I didn’t read any reviews, and it was SO crude! I knew it was going to be, don’t get me wrong, but it was quite a bit raunchier in beginning than I was bargaining for. One unhappy very old couple left after about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, it was right after that where the movie cleaned up and was less dirty. We had GREAT laughs, and enjoyed sitting in a theatre, holding hands, and being on a date.

When we were done with the movie, we grabbed some coffee and headed home. The kids were all sleeping, and my parents were happy, and full of stories from the evening with the kids. It seemed like they had almost as much fun as we did. Or I’ll just tell myself that and try to weasel some more date nights 😉 Sound like a plan? I think so.
