Couples Skate

A doctor checked Brie out after her tumble out of the shopping cart and she is fine. She doesn't even have a bump. So, we got to continue with our Valentine's day festivities. Scott made the plans for the evening and it was yet another fun date. We've got pics and video to prove it, of course.

He started out the evening with a very romantic dinner with our two girls and the babysitter. It was cute. He got the heart shaped pizza from Papa Murphy's and root beer! Delicious. He also made an amazing (diet friendly) treat for before and after. He drizzled chocolate on pretzels. I was in heaven with all that saltiness and sweetness.

Then the main event began. Ava was asleep in bed, Brie was playing dress up with the babysitter (who was the prince and had to dance with her) and Scott took me ice skating! I was really nervous putting my skates on and heading out on the ice. I've only been ice skating once in my life and I was about 14 years old. I remember falling down the WHOLE time. I was excited to try it again.

We got onto the rink for sweethearts couples ice skating night and found ourselves surrounded by high school kids. It was just like at the mall. They were all in little groups talking and watching the other groups and showing off for each other. Hilarious. It made it that much more fun to watch the high schoolers. I think we were the oldest couple there. Scott did very well on his ice hockey skates and I managed to make my way around the rink. I got faster and faster and more confident in my skills. I was actually so excited that I had learned to go backwards, kind of learned to stop and had gone around the rink many times and hadn't fallen once. And here is my grand finale finish. We decided to go around one more time and then head home. Scott started video taping me though. It made me so nervous. I turned around to say something to him and just as he was turning off the camera . . . I bit it. I can't believe I'm sharing this video.
