Date Night and changes

(His Wolverine Phase)

We went to Maxwell's in Salt Lake for a Wedding Work Dinner Party for Derek's Co-Worker.  So, the husband has been working at this office for a little over a year and he's slowly been changing.  Good changes, for instance...he dressed up at work all day for Halloween, he grew a beard and then shaved it in multiple stages, and then as we were driving home from dinner he says "I wish we could have sat more in the center of the tables by everyone else." 

(What?)  There were at least 20 people there and my husband prefers to hide in the darkest corners during social events.  My introverted husband was actually wishing to be in the middle of the crowd?  I'm still kind of flabbergasted (not that we didn't enjoy the company on the end we sat by.)

 I'm constantly begging him to grow a beard, or chops or something different.  Strange how working in a large office changes ones perspective.

 (His Molestache Phase *Not my favorite but not bad.)

(His Biker, Chops, Handlebar Phase) 

Oh!  At Maxwells, they apparently have this live jazz musician Conn Curran, who is slightly amazing.  Amazing enough I got brave and asked for his card... what I really wanted is for Derek and I to get remarried so I could have him sing at our wedding.  I feel he' like a Frank Sinatra/Michael Buble...but oh-so-much-better.  Le Sigh.

 

Go here to listen to some of Conn Curran songs. The Royals by Lorde.  Actually, his life version was so much better.

have you ever seen such a large green table?

went on a date the other night!  the oaks, up ogden canyon.   i even bought some new shoes for it.

somehow we got their biggest table and benches, but it was right next to the river outside, and it was lovely.

see the river down below? 

see what i mean by "benches?"  it was a huge table.

we weren't super hungry and decided to get the appetizer platter.  i saw all the veggie options and though hooray!  for some reason i didn't think they would ALL be deep fried.  they were good, until they suddenly became ungood when i felt my heart stopping.  (i j/k. but seriously.)

oh, maybe you are like me?  the person who always drips something on themselves? ALWAYS.  plus i knocked over my water cup too.  i sure know how to impress my man.

i wanted to go to the drive-in movie

 but he wanted to see Superman. 

let's face it, you can't really see such a movie without some awesome speakers.

i was trying to get him to actually pay for the photo booth, but i failed.  

so we took our own...in the photo booth.

decided to take some pictures with Louie and Marilyn.

after the movie, there was NO ONE in this side of the mall.  it was slightly creepy, so i felt the need to have a picture.
