Troublemakers!

My 2 little trouble makers... They really do keep me busy.

It's been a while!

It's been a while since the last update, but just wanted to say that we are still doing date nights! We try to do it every week, but we are so busy. Usually when it's Josh's day off, we do errands. We are a one car family, so I don't get to do it myself. Once we have saved up enough money to buy another car, then we will. For now, we are happy with this arrangement.

Just wanted to say that I had a great time on our day on Friday! We went to B Street Bar. My honeybun sang "Truly, Madly, Deeply" and he dedicated it to me. He was so sweet. Just wanted to mention that that was definitely the highlight of our night! Love you hubby! 

We were also walking down Whyte Ave since it was a beautiful day that day. I can't wait until it's summer so we can enjoy Whyte Ave again like this. We had some coffee at Block 1912. I didn't have cake, I was able to resist myself!

My cousin got stuck while on her way to work today.

Here is a picture of my husband helping her out.

I'm just thankful that I don't work outside the home because I'm afraid to get stuck too. I've only been stuck twice before and it isn't very fun.

Some tips to survive Winter in Edmonton:

• Bring extra winter jacket in your trunk
• Bring an extra shovel. You can purchase a portable type in Canadian Tire.
• Always carry your cell phone with you.

If you have any more tips to share, please feel free to let us know.

This is what our deck looks like right now

 

 

After Christmas Date Night - Movie and Dinner at Montana's

One of the Christmas presents Josh and I had received was a pair of movie passes and a gift card to our choice of restaurant (Harvey's, Swiss Chalet, Milestones, and Montana). Because we have not been to Montana's before, we have decided to have our dinner date there.

So after enjoying the third installment of The Chronicles of Narnia, we headed over to Montana's. We were told that the wait would be 40-60 minutes. But surprisingly, they had managed to seat us within 10 minutes. I was very pleased with that as I don't like to wait. lol

The server was very polite and friendly. She didn't have to ask us if we wanted refills on our drinks. She'd just automatically give us refills. Isn't that nice?

I ordered the steak. Hubby ordered the ribs. You know me and my steaks. lol. I have to say that the steaks were delicious! I had it with mashed potatoes and gravy and beans on the side. I also had it with Montana's steak sauce.

Dinner was very filling and I wish we didn't go to Taco Bell before the movie.

Our overall experience was really good. I would give this place a 4 out of 5 stars.
