Thankful for Date Nights

Date nights with Carson are things that I am thankful for. We try to have a date night every week, and they vary from free meals at home and game nights to dinners out and exploring the area. They're a fun thing to look forward to each week, and more recently, I've made a jar with slips of paper for date night activity ideas, just in case our creative juices aren't flowing. 

Here's a recent one. We went to Chipotle for dinner, which is right around the corner (it shares a shopping plaza with my job). It was tasty as always. We both got burrito bowls, which we agreed offer more food than an actual burrito, which means food to take home for lunch the next day or the option of sharing one. 

We noticed that Petsmart had opened nearby, so we walked over to see if there were any animals to look at. We didn't see any cute ones, so we went to the back and watched them feed the lizards (it was disgusting, but slightly fascinating). A whole store dedicated to animals is a little crazy, but we enjoyed mocking the dog apparel, pricing goldfish (we're not sure if we're ready for a $0.13 commitment) and finally finding the cats up for "adoption". They were cute and we were tempted although I'm an anti-cat person, but our landlord doesn't allow animals, so we just enjoyed their cuteness through the glass.

After that, we made oreo balls and nutter butter balls. We enjoyed incorporating making something together, plus they were really tasty. We watched "The Amazing Spiderman" as we enjoyed these.
