Alphabet Dating--A

Exactly one month from tomorrow, Phil and I will have been married for 2 years! It's crazy how fast the time has gone. It has been a fun 2 years and the good thing is that we still love each other more than ever. One thing we have noticed, however, is our creative dates have greatly diminished. Our "dates" usually include going out to dinner then coming back to our apartment and watching a red box or netflix. What happened to our creativity. So I had this brilliant idea. We are going to ALPHABET DATE. We will take turns planning dates A-Z and the date has to be focused around the letter. I started things off with our "A" date.

We started the day by go on A RUN together. Ok, that one is a stretch but oh well. After our run we watched ASHLEY on the Bachelorette. We missed it Monday night so I had to get it in somehow.

Phil and I had laundry to fold so Phil moved our iMac to the floor in front of our TV so we could fold and watch ASHLEY on Hulu on a bigger screen than the laptop. Great idea!!!

We got ready for the day and drove up to Sandy and went to the AQUARIUM! It is a dream of ours to have a salt water fish tank someday. More specifically, we want a jellyfish and/or a seahorse! We had so much fun.

Yes, we decided to ride the frog! Frog? I thought this was an aquarium? I guess they justify frogs because they live in water. I don't think they belong in an aquarium though. We also saw lizards, snakes, and spiders...go figure! Maybe they want to become a zoo someday.

Touching the sting rays totally made Phil's day. He thought that touching the sting rays alone was worth the $8/person to get into the aquarium. I'm glad he was so happy!

Don't ask me why my face is so white. No idea!

This is my friend, Milden. He got a little too friendly on our first meeting.

Yay for penguins! They seriously are my favorite. This one kept jumping in the pool to swim. He was very entertaining!

For dinner...APPLEBEE'S. It was either that or ARBY'S. I seriously could not think of any other "A" restaurants. Dinner was yummy, especially since we got the 2 for $20 deal. Gotta love that. Our waiter was an AIR-HEAD though. He was ABSENT AT our table ALL the time. What an AMATEUR. I wanted to ACCUSE him of ABANDONMENT AND ABUSE but Phil decided to leave an ABSURDLY small tip instead. That was a good enough punishment for me.

The final part of our "A" date was ARCTIC CIRCLE for dessert. We got a divine shake. All-in-all, it was a very successful first alphabet date. We look forward to finishing the alphabet. Phil's up next with the letter B!
