Date Night with flat Matt

Last night I went on a date. That's right. A night out with my darling husband. And three other lovely couples. What's that? You thought Matt was still in Afghanistan? He is. Technically. But back to my date.

I was skyping with Matt yesterday and mentioned that I was going out to dinner with several other couples for dinner. His response? "That's weird. Won't you be the fifth wheel?" Or something encouraging like that. Which is why I decided the most logical thing to do would be to take Matt along of course. Kind of like a flat Stanley (google it if you're not tracking). That way, it wouldn't be weird. Just Matt and me out to dinner with friends. Nope, not weird at all.

Matt and I shared a plate. We're romantic and so in love. "Here honey! Try a bite of my chicken tikka masala!"

*What on earth is Colleen doing behind us. She's a crackup that one.


Group photo minus yours truly. Matt's back there with Colleen chatting it up. He's the life of the party!

See honey. I told you it wouldn't be weird. Who says date nights have to end during deployment? Love you Matt. Look forward to seeing you in 3d again in the Spring. XOXO!
