wednesday: date day

so far this week has been great and it's only wednesday, plans for the rest of the week are all pointing towards it being a WONDERFUL week in it's entirety! today was my husbands 'during the week day off'- this is something new they are doing so that they get a little bit more of a break than just sunday or the occasional saturday, which I am thinking is a terrific idea. this week, however, I wasn't sure if he was going to be off during the week, well, as luck (for me) would have it he surprised me last night and said the he was in fact off and we were going on a day date!! YAY! Of course, I was giddy with excitement...a surprise date, how could I not be?! and we did just that...
we went to the new theater in pigeon forge and saw "I am no. 4"- GREAT, movie, two thumbs up... most definitely. I didn't want it to end, it was so good (I love when that happens)- needless to say we both thoroughly enjoyed it. after the movie we walked around a little bit, there are little local shops surrounding the theater, then headed to the outlets for a little look-sie before dinner. we ended our date with a yummy dinner at the old mill pottery cafe' & grille, it was our first time eating there and it, too, was VERY good. I had a delicious-o chicken salad sandwich (I am a FREAK for chicken salad) and the hubby munched on a chicken reuben. they homemake all of their breads (even to the extent of grinding the grains for that very bread!) the plates we hand-made pottery- made next door in the pottery store that I just LOVE. everything was so fresh and oh, so tasty. it was a wonderful surprise and so much fun to get out on the town with the hubby (thanks, love).

we have a kiddo that is over the top excited about tomorrow...we are going to the circus!! he has been talking about it for weeks and asks everday "momma, circus?!? 2 eeks?!" lol- man, I love that kid. we are SO excited to take him, I can't wait to see that precious little face beeming with excitement and happiness.
