Lincoln and I don’t go on a lot of dates with just me and him. We hang out with
friends a lot at our houses and we do a lot of fun things but we never make a
plan and just go by ourselves to dinner and a movie or something. Mainly we
don’t do this because we don’t really go out to eat a lot, we are always trying
to save money, and Lincoln REALLY doesn’t like spending money on things like
that. Anyways, I have read the Hunger Games trilogy and, like all of America,
was so excited for the movie to finally hit theaters. I talked to Lincoln early
last week and asked him if we could go on a date Friday and see that movie and
have dinner just me and him. I knew he would probably say yes because we never
do anything like that and I made sure to point out the movie was not a regular
chick flick it was about killing and stuff and I was sure he would enjoy it.
(not total torture for a man LOL) Like I thought, he agreed and after we got
off work Friday we headed out on our DATE!
We enjoyed a high class meal at our
local Chili’s where we ran into some friends. After our meal we had about an
hour before the movie started but instead of wasting time we went ahead and
headed that way. We purchased our tickets online because I didn’t want to not
be able to get in. Matt & Heather were there and we decided to sit with
them.
We got in line and it’s a good thing. I had originally planned on getting
in line around 9 since the movie started at 9:30 but by 9 the line was really
long. We got great seats and not long after the movie was starting.
IT WAS
FANTASTIC! Worth every penny and minute we had to wait.
The only bad part is
now we have to wait for the next part to come out. LOL Lincoln really enjoyed it
too and I was happy about that. He even said last night that he’s ready to
watch it again. He is one of those who watches movies he likes over and over
because he likes to analyze.
Our
night was great and I’m so glad that every once in a while we take the time and
the money to do something that’s enjoyable and out of the ordinary for us.
YAY
for date nights!
I LOVE the movie! Thankfully though, I didn't have to drag my husband along. He actually wanted to go see it, and we both loved it! Glad you were able to see it too.
