I Love Mid-week Dates

Jared and I have been very busy trying to get him ready for his internship-- running errands, buying clothes, and other boring things. Yesterday we were able to go on a relaxing and fairly cheap date and not think about anything else. It was so wonderful!

First we went to the BYU Museum of Art to see the Masterworks of Victorian Art exhibit (for free). People are so talented, it's amazing! I used to not appreciate art, but ever since I took a History of Creativity class at BYU my eyes have been opened and I love going to exhibits. One thing that did irk me though...next to each piece of art there was an explanation and at the bottom of that it said "From the collection of ___ or Donated by Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Doe". At this one piece of art it said "Donated by Dr. and Mrs. Jack whatever his last name was". First, I can't stand it when people have a Doctorate degree and so they MUST publicize it as much as possible to the whole world. And second of all, the man doesn't even allow his wife's name to be put on the little placard. How rude!

Next we went to dinner at our favorite restaurant, the Olive Garden (partly paid by a gift card). The food was so yummy as always and we did an early dinner, so there weren't many people in the restaurant.

Lastly we went the Creamery on Ninth to pick up a few groceries, and so I could get ice cream. (Jared is not a big fan of ice cream. Me, I could eat it every day for every meal if it was healthy. Don't worry Mom, I have cut down a lot.) It was sooo good, and guess how much I spent-- $1!! The child size scoop is still plenty!
