Date Night!

Kendall and I received one of the most appreciated gifts we've ever had this past week: an all expense paid date night! One of the families in our ward has quadruplets who are now 17. Three of them are boys, all of them are working on their eagle projects. To say thank you to Kendall for all of his help as the scoutmaster they gave us a gift card for the movie theater, Avanti's (an Italian restaurant in the area), and gift certificate for babysitting. Two of the boys came over on Thursday night and watched the kids for quite a few hours while Kendall and I went out on the town. We went to see Harry Potter and loved it! We haven't read the book yet because anytime we read the book first we don't really enjoy the movie. So now we have the book on hold and should be getting it this week. As a side note, when Harry Potter first came out I thought it was such a ridiculous fad that I didn't want to read them at all. I thought it sounded dumb. So now here I am totally hooked on it and a total fan. Obviously not obsessed though since I haven't read the last two books yet. I've started the Twilight craze too, and I think I might even like those better, believe it or not! Anyway, back to the date. It was so nice to have some time with Kendall, uninterrupted. Thank you so much to the wonderful Sadler family!
