A date with my hubby and our little secret!!!

Since we have been married life has been so fast paced. I work at the Court House and as a Secretary for our Church. Mike is in his last semester at Fresno State taking Organic Chemistry (That itself can kill someone.) He is also the Youth Pastor and works in between studying and going to school.

Most of our weekends consist of cleaning the house and Mike studying madly!!! So this weekend, Mike took me on a romantic date. He also got me flowers!

Saturday was a lazy day. To start off our day, we made strawberry and banana smoothies. My little sister,  Shadi came over for awhile (which she does most weekends, because she loves to go to Church with us on Sundays). During all of this Mike was outside making raised vegetable boxes for our garden. 

We then got dressed and went to Cafe 225. Has anyone been to Downtown Visalia on a Saturday night??? I love our Downtown! Cafe 225 is an elegant restaurant and I was thrilled he took me there (:




Our food looked and tasted AMAZING! Mike had steak and I had chicken, but wow...his steak was scrumptious! The best part was that we saved $22. Our whole tab came to $15 before tip and $21 after!


Ladies and Gentlemen here is our secret....
