Date Night 9 of 2017: The 1975

When setting our 2017 marriage goals (which you can see HERE) we decided we were going to be intentional in dating one another. This meant regular date nights, trying things we haven’t done in the area or revisiting favorites!

This date has probably been my fave so far. Despite being kinda sick and not having a voice we went and saw our mutually favorite band: The 1975. It was our 3rd time seeing them, and Sarah came along this time. They put on one dang good show, and always have. Also, the tradition remains of me crying when Robbers is sung.

Probably the craziest part of the whole night was the drive there! We got caught in torrential down pours on our drive! Literally people were stopping on the highway because you couldn’t see in front of you. We stayed under an overpass for a bit when it started hailing. We also drove through a ginormous flooded area to try to get to a parking ramp. Never in my life have I been more grateful for the skyways in Saint Paul!

Enjoy these low-quality iPhone pictures primarily from Snapchat 😂

My honey being as unenthusiastic as possible.

 

Also, if you’ve never listened to The 1975 – GO DO IT.

Date Night 8 of 2017: Shopping & GG2

WOW I have been absolutely terrible about blogging. I’M SO SORRY. These next few weeks I’m hoping to bring some more consistency!

We have still been sticking with our date nights as our goal!

When setting our 2017 marriage goals (which you can see HERE) we decided we were going to be intentional in dating one another. This meant regular date nights, trying things we haven’t done in the area or revisiting favorites.

At the beginning of May (just like our last date in April), we intended to go to Como Zoo but it was CRAZY busy. So instead we went to some outlet shops & saw Guardians of the Galaxy 2! It’s been a long time since we saw a movie, so it was nice to do that again and with a movie we both wanted to see, which rarely ever happens!

One of our main goals with our shopping trip was to buy some Nikes for us to go to EUROPE in! So we pulled the trigger and bought a pair each. We ended up getting matching pairs (#cute) – Nike Free RN 🙂

SO glad we bought these shoes, they’re the comfiest ever. I cannot wait to walk in Europe with these and with my honey next month!

Date Night 7 of 2017: Cooking

When setting our 2017 marriage goals (which you can see HERE) we decided we were going to be intentional in dating one another. This meant regular date nights, trying things we haven’t done in the area or revisiting favorites.

On the very last day of April, we squeezed in one last date. We were hoping to go to Como Zoo, but it ended up being so rainy that when we got home from church, we just decided to keep it a day in. We made our favorite dinner together: these amazing ham & cheese roll ups. We make them at least once a month. They are SO easy and last for multiple meals. We also made puppy chow, which is one of our favorite dessert/snacks! I may not have any photos of us making the food together, it was oh so special for us to cook together. These simple tasks, cooking or cleaning together, mean so much to me as our schedules are so busy. Taking the time out of an otherwise busy Sunday to make our food together and enjoy the process together is such a meaningful thing for our marriage.

Date Night 6 of 2017: Minneapolis Institute of Art

When setting our 2017 marriage goals (which you can see HERE) we decided we were going to be intentional in dating one another. This meant regular date nights, trying things we haven’t done in the area or revisiting favorites.

Over my Spring Break, we decided it would be a good time to fit in an early April Date Night. Minneapolis Institute of Art was first on the list, and I thought it would be a great thing to do during the day while on break. I also thought it would be a good time to go to Black Coffee and Waffle Bar, which I have been dying to try!

The Apple Streusel Waffle did not disappoint! We decided just to split the one waffle to save a little bit of money, but I easily could have eaten the whole thing myself.

After finishing our waffle, we drove to Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA) right as it opened. I went this past summer with my mom and sister, but Trevor had not yet been, so I was excited for him to go. I was also eager to visit again as it’s been a while since I’ve visited an art museum (since July when they visited).

Overall, I really enjoyed seeing some of the things I had not seen the first time and it got me SO excited for our upcoming trip this summer to see so many great museums! I’ll be sharing more soon about our summer plans.

Date Night 5 of 2017: Bubba Gump’s

When setting our 2017 marriage goals (which you can see HERE) we decided we were going to be intentional in dating one another. This meant regular date nights, trying things we haven’t done in the area or revisiting favorites.

Date Night 1 of March was such a blast, I’m glad we made it happen early(ish) in the month to try to hit 3 this month.

Bubba Gump’s was next on our list for Date Nights. We went to Bubba Gump’s last year for the first time and super loved it. When we were coming up with a list of places to go for Date Nights this year, this was a no-brainer. While a little pricier than we normally eat out, it’s still convenient as it’s at MOA.

I got a super amazing Mango Frozen Margarita and Shrimp New Orleans. Honestly, I don’t remember what Trevor got and he’s not responding to my texts while at work. 😂

While it wasn’t a “fancy” date, it was so nice to just go out to eat and enjoy lunch together after church!

While we didn’t hit 3 dates this month, the 2 we did have were CERTAINLY great!
