Girl's Night Out rocks!! Normally, if given the option, I'm pretty much a homebody...But tonight, with Matt gone for the evening, I decided to be wild and crazy and invite my friend Christie out for dinner & a movie! Dinner was Atlanta Bread Company and the movie was "Nights in Rodanthe." We almost changed out minds on the movie b/c we heard someone say today that it wasn't any good...But all the reviews said just the opposite so we decided to risk it! Glad we did too! It was a really good movie! (Yes, it was a true Sparks tear-jerker, but still good!) Afterwards, we made a run over to Borders to get the latest Sparks book, "The Lucky One."

So that was my very fun night! I'm so lucky to have sweet friends to hang out with!

Now I'm home...Just started some laundry in an attempt to have one less load to do tomorrow! So far we are pretty commitment-free tomorrow...You can't even imagine how happy that makes me! I always look forward to a little downtime with just me and awesome hubby!

Oh but I just remembered one big plan I have for tomorrow...Ordering me the Canon 85mm, f/1.8 USM lens! Woohoo!! Hadn't really thought much about wanting a new lense, but I'm just loving the pics my friend Lindsey has been taking with hers (the Nikon version) and Ken Rockwell's awesome review just sealed the deal for me! I did a quick search today and the best price I found was on B&H for $355. Trust me, I'm dying just to run out to Wolf first thing in the morning and get my hot little hands on it, but it's listed at over $100 more on their site, so I'm guessing it's about the same in the store...(Although, I know I'm at least gonna break down and call as soon as they open tomorrow JUST TO MAKE SURE!)

Oh well. Scratch that whole "looking forward to having my hubby all to myself" idea. Matt just got home from a 4 hour practice for Sunday's morning worship to tell me that they now also have to be there at 11 in the morning to practice again. Forget that they just took everyone away from their families for all of Friday night. Let's just take them for a few more hours right in the middle of their Saturday too. I guess there's always next weekend. Maybe.

Yeah so now that I've been crying for half an hour I guess I'll just go to bed. No fun to blog anymore.
