At Christmas Shell gave Dan and I a very special gift--twelve envelopes each containing a "date" to be opened once a month throughout the whole year.  Well, this month's was kind of a no-brainer as to WHEN we would go.  We also decided that we would wait until today to open the envelope and see where the where would be...

All right!  I LOVE the Olive Garden!  Thanks, Shell!!!!!

This time I remembered the camera, but since my little point and shoot died I've been using the still photo function built into our video camera.  Unfortunately, I've not exactly mastered it yet and so I try to make up for my lack of skill by taking MANY (42 tonight) pictures, but alas, NONE of the pictures of us dressed to go out are bloggable.  In fact, they're already DELETED!

So you'll just have to have to trust me when I say we did not wear sweats and t-shirts out to dinner this evening.
