Date Night!

Saturday night, Josh and I had an old-fashioned date.  He picked me up, opened doors, helped me with my coat.  It was a sweet change, although I'm not sure I could handle it all the time!

We went to Ertel's Winery in Batesville.  The place is gorgeous - here are some pictures from their website.

We had a nice little table for 2 right next to the windows.  Josh ordered us a bottle of their strawberry wine - yum!  I haven't had a wine from there yet that I don't love.  He ordered a shrimp dish, and I got the filet Mignon.  We shared a crab cake appetizer.   Everything was absolutely delicious, and presented so well that he kidded we should take pictures.  I almost pulled my camera out.... but didn't.

It was nice to be out just the two of us, and this was a change from what we normally do.  We ended the evening sipping a honey mead on my couch, watching "Supernatural" season 4.  We wouldn't want to get TOO fancy all at once :)

What's your favorite date night or special date night?

Goodbye 2011, Hello 2012

When 2011 started, I was still heartbroken and missing someone.  April 17, 2011... that all changed.  It defined the rest of the year, simply because I am happy.  Extremely happy.  Others are waiting for an event.  I know it will happen in time, and I'm not in tooo much of a hurry for it.  I'm content that I'm loved and that I can love in return.

2012 started fantastically - a kiss from the one I love, surrounded by friends, and the hope that this year will be better than the last.  I was lucky enough to attend the weddings of many friends last year.  Seeing others so happy and in love just makes me feel luckier to be able to love.

Hoping 2012 is a great year for everyone!
