Spend Some Quality Dining Time

Everyone has to eat, right? I know I looooove to eat! My fiancĂ©e and I love to try new places and food we have never tried before. Today is his birthday so I decided to take him to P.F. Changs tonight since neither of us have ever been there. We have heard great things about it so I am quite excited, I'm sure he would be too if he knew we were going there...it's a surprise. Every time we visit a new city we try to find a restaurant that we don't have back home. So far we have tried some really fabulous places including a French-Vietnamese place in Chicago called Le Colonial...it's expensive but worth every penny!!

Bowling - Fun For All Ages

My fiance is on a bowling league so he bowls every Wednesday night. Often he brings our son, who is almost three, with him. Our son has turned into the league mascot, all the guys on the league love him and give him goodies and money to play the video games and crane machine. He loves to go bowling with Dad. He will sit in the chair in front of the score keeper and watch all the guys bowl, giving them high fives or fist pounds as they walk by when they get strikes. He is addicted to Wii Bowling, his high score is a 203, and has a very large plastic set of bowling pins and bowling balls that he plays with constantly. So we try to take him bowling every couple weeks or so because he loves it so much. He has his own bowling ball and insists on throwing the ball by himself! I have to admit, bowling is definitely my son's favorite activity to do in his spare time, and being three he has a lot of it! It's fun for the whole family and we get a kick out of watching our son get so excited when he knocks down the pins.

Movie Time

One thing my family does a lot is have movie time, mainly because it's cheap and we love movies. At night, when there is nothing else on TV, because there usually isn't, we pop some popcorn, get our drinks, and lay down on the couch as a family and watch a movie. Last night we watched Easy A starring Emma Stone and let me tell you it was hilarious! In a nutshell, a high school girl fibs about her virginity turning her clean cut reputation into that of Hester Prynne's from Scarlet Letter. You may think it's a movie for teens, which it is, but adults will find it hilarious too, we were cracking up at so many parts. So if you haven't seen it yet, add it to your list!

My Favorite Pastime: Reading

Most of my free time is at night before I go to bed, so one thing I love to do is pick up a good book and read a few chapters. Currently I am reading the Undead Series by Mary Janice Davidson. It is about a woman who dies on her 30th birthday and unknowingly turns into a vampire. She is obsessed with shoes and shopping and has a fiery personality. The whole series has cracked me up so far and I can't wait to finish it up. So if you like to laugh a bit try this series out!
