Weekend Frivolities'

DATE NIGHT is here once again. I suggested to Tim that we needed to have date night this month, and so he thought of going to Ogden City’s Christmas Village. I had never been, and been living in Ogden for 7 years. So we started our fun evening dining out at Golden Corral which was also a first for us. Neither one of us had eaten there before; so we thought we’d give it a try after talking about going to there for years. The food was really good, and with a buffet you have SO many choices it’s unbelievable. We will be dining out there again.

After dinner we went to the Christmas Village at the Ogden Municipal Building. It was raining, but we weren’t going to let that stop us from having a good evening with each other. We walked around and looked at the cute little houses/building with their decorations and lights. It really was interesting to see them. I want to take Kohl there one year as a family.

OH MY GOODNESS it’s December. Today Tim and I set out to buy the baby’s crib and mattress since it’s essential he has somewhere to sleep. My family has joked around about having him sleep in a dresser drawer or suitcase, but I can provide a crib for my baby. We did our research on different cribs and found the one we love at a fair price at IKEA, so we made the trip down to Draper since that is the only location in Utah. We first got breakfast at IHOP before journeying down to IKEA.
The drive down was fun because it gave Tim and I a chance to talk, but as we drew closer to our destination we had a handicap driver cut us off, and then we observed the same driver proceed to cut someone else off. They could have seriously caused an accident, but thankfully there were no accidents.

When we walked into IKEA I was just overwhelmed with the size, and the hustle and bustle of all the people walked around. This was the first time either one of us had been in IKEA. I grabbed a map, and asked for assistance before we heading upstairs.... this place is incredible with all the cool stuff for your home. I told Tim that we were there on a mission, and needed to focus otherwise we'd be there for hours.
I wanted to get what we needed, and get out as it's very tiring to stand and walk for hours.


The crib we chose for Kohl.

We checked things out around us as we were walking to get our items from the stock room. If I could I would like everything in that store.
As we were standing in our check out lane this guy cut in front of us. I didn't say anything to him, but I did let it upset me. At this point my back was hurting, and I needed something to eat.
We finished everything at IKEA and got the boxed crib and mattress into our Dodge Stratus, and headed to the local 7-Eleven for drinks and chips for me. I could feel my blood sugar dropping, and needed to eat something right away. We decided that once we were closer to home we'd eat a real meal, which we did.
Our drive home was again wonderful. We talked and laughed, and had a great time with each other.
