Date Night

Doug and I try to go out alone once or twice a week for a couple of hours to catch up on all that is happening in the Heinisch Home.  Sometimes we stop for dinner, other times we go shopping, and in warm weather we always try to include a walk.  Tonight, however, date night took on a whole new meaning.  On this trip Cal asked us if we could take him and his girlfriend to a movie.  I was a little surprised, not that he wanted to go with her to the movie, but that he was alright with us taking them.  He is definitely the least likely to share personal information with us, but that seems to be getting a little easier for him this year.

We happily agreed to take them.  Although neither were extremely chatty on the way to "Catching Fire," we did get to hear a little about what they have been up to - Black Friday shopping, books they like, etc.  Her mom wanted to pick them up from the movie and take them to dinner, so our time together was limited to twenty minutes or so.  No matter the time, it was nice to be included, and Doug and I enjoyed our own date night out for dinner.
