Losing Freedom, Brie and Truffle Fries...Yes there's a connection. Sort of.

Since the beginning of Jeff and Liz....we've had babies and kids at our feet..
until recently....and we've loved every second of it!
It's what we wanted...we wanted to raise a big family, and do it while we were young.

Even with little ones we always took time for "us".
We have always tried to keep our marriage alive and well. It's important.
{and I like spending time with my husband, it's one of my favorite parts of life!}

Now that our kids are old enough...we don't need a babysitter,
we have the freedom to run out spur of the moment for coffee, dinner or a quick jaunt to the store.

It's been nice. We entered into a new phase....that will soon be an old phase.

Last Friday evening as we were driving into the sunset....
on our way to THIS incredible steakhouse,
it dawned on me what this new little baby is going to do to our freedom! Bye, bye. Ha!

Starting this fall we will be a little tied down. and that's okay.
We're excited for another little person to join our family.
It's been 8 years since we've had a baby along for date night....he or she better like Starbucks.

Things in our little world of doing whatever we want, whenever we want will be changing..Soon.
We'll still be going out, we will just have infant company.
Which is better than teenage company when you want to be alone.
Babies don't have opinions about your conversation. They just care about clean diapers and being fed.

Now..back to our dinner at the steakhouse.

The restaurant is inside a big old house.
A beautiful big old house with an incredible staircase and a beautiful set of bells going up the wall.^^^
(I wanted to ring them...)

The food? Oh my...
Have you ever had truffle Fries? I didn't either...until last week.
French fries fried in truffle oil and then dipped in a truffle mayo dipping sauce.

My other favorite?
An appetizer simply called ~ The Brie ~
Baked brie cheese, panko crusted...served with grilled bread and a tomato basil sauce on the side.
To. die. for...well, maybe not actually die, but I definitely would go back just to get a plate of it!

And all the windows surrounding our table made for a beautiful view while
the sun set and a romantic feel once light disappeared.

Or maybe it was Jeff all dressed up in a tie that made it romantic...at any rate, it was lovely!

Now I'm hungry and our usual Friday night pizza doesn't sound so good in comparison.
Yeah. I know...first world problems. I should be thankful for any food I can eat! and I am.

Hope you have a wonderful, wonderful weekend.
Any exciting plans? We have a birthday party on Saturday and church on Sunday.
