Batman...at midnight

So Rob really wants to see the Dark Knight...in IMAX. We went to the theater Saturday afternoon to buy tickets and the next available showing (that wasn't during work) was tonight at midnight. So I am about to eat some dinner and then take a nap, as my staying out all night days are long behind me.

Also note that I have been told by Rob that I do not plan dates, I just tell him we should go on one. I have thus been instructed to plan and execute one date before we get married. Mind you this is less than 13 days away now that it is evening. I have also been told that me saying yes we should see a midnight movie does not count.

So batman, and then what?
Any ideas for a simple yet romantic date that costs less than $40 for two and can be executed in the next 8 days?

I'll let you know how the movie goes.

It was worth it. Even getting only 4 hours of sleep and being tired at work. There was no point during the movie in which I wished I were home in bed. But what does it say that so many people are willing to wait in line two hours before the movie starts because we know it is a sold out show...and on a school night

T minus 16...

...days that is, until I get married! There have been lots wedding preparations around the apartment. And there are piles of stuff everywhere. Here is one of the nicer looking stacks, all of the favors, finally ready to go.We also completed the place cards and seating chart for the reception. And Rob made some snazzy looking table numbers. I am waiting on one more detail and our programs will be ready to print! Then all of the folding...ugg. So close.

Here are some flowers Rob got me on Monday for my desk.

Canisters and Cookbooks

Thanks to my wonderful finace, I now have two shelves in the kitchen. Tonight they are complete with canisters, cookbooks, and what Rob calls decorative crap (My bottles of chili peppers and my chickens from Brazil) The canisters are a gift from my aunt and uncle and are now full of sugar, salt, and soon other baking goods.

And thanks to my awesome bosses at work, I have a set of cookbooks to get me through the first year of marriage and more! Time to get cooking.

Beach

Rob and I have been attending pre-marriage classes with our pastor for the last couple of months. This past week the chapters were about being romantic within marriage. Rob decided to get a head-start on this planning romantic dates for us. So since I have been wanting to go to the beach for ages now, so on Saturday Rob planned for us to go to the beach at fire island. We took the train to Bay Shore and then the ferry to Fire Island. The waves were huge, the sky was blue, I had enough sun screen, it was a perfect day.

Sunday we went up to Connecticut to meed the DJ for the wedding. The meeting was fast so we had to decide what we wanted to do for the rest of the afternoon. Since we were on I-95, Rob said we were close to PLAYLAND! So we went. Roller Coasters galore. We rode the Dragon Coaster, the Derby Racer (a super-fast carousel....I thought I was going to fall off!) Then we went on the Old Mill, a water tunnel ride. Such a fun day. We are totally going to have to do it again next summer. The funniest part of the day was when we tried to go on the Crazy Mouse Coaster. And the attendant told Rob to hold on she had to measure him...we laughed...but she was serious. There is a MAXimum height of 72" and Rob is too tall! So no Crazy Mouse for us.

Rob got major points this weekend.

PS pictures working again!

Gardening

So flowers really do grow from seeds. Somehow I didn't really believe that. So I poured the WHOLE bag of seeds into the pot. Well here they are growing... and growing... I am slowly pulling out the smallest plants as they continue to grow.
