Married and Dating: a 52 week adventure: Dinner and a Movie

Alright, the pressure of week 1 is done. On Friday night Jason took me out for the first of our 52 date challenge.

Jason decided to go with a standard date for the first go-round. Dinner and a movie. Maybe he wanted to get an easy one out of the way so that I couldn't use it instead. I'm mildly disappointed that I won't have that to fall back on later...but, it fell within the date challenge parameters, so I can't complain. We should also note, many of our dates will probably include a dinner of sorts, since we do need to eat!

Earlier in the week Jason asked me if I could meet me at 'his place' on Friday night. I agreed.

When I got home from work I came around to the front and rang the doorbell. It was fun being greeted with a smile and a hug (and briefly pretending like I didn't live there). After walking through the door, I found the table nicely set, with one rose. Sidenote: way back when we were first dating, Jason brought me one rose on our one month 'date-aversary' and three on our third. I know, it's silly. We were in high school... what else can I say? Cheesy and I love it.

Anyways, Jason started preparing our three course dinner which included the following:

salad greens with pecans and bacon, tossed with oil and vinegar
seared scallops drizzled with deliciousness (sauce consisting of coconut oil, ghee, coconut milk, salt/pepper/garlic)
grilled sirloin steak

Oh, and there was wine. Don't want to forget the wine. Everything but the wine was paleo - win!

But, that wasn't the end. Next, we snuggled on the couch as we read some scripture together. Then we started a game of Dominion, and I was winning, so Jason called it quits before we were finished. Just kidding, we had to pause the game in order to make it to a movie at the Pickford (we saved the game for the next day and I won). We don't often see movies, so it was quite a treat to go see The Imitation Game. If you haven't heard of it, check it out. If you like math, definitely check it out. The film is based on a team of mathematicians who were working to decrypt Nazi code during WW2. We enjoyed it.

Lastly, like a true gentleman, Jason took me home.
