Megan's Date

Well, everyone knows I'm a check-off-the-list-kind-of-girl, so after taking the test I quickly planned our date, got a sitter, and was ready for our fun-filled evening. I had received a decent score--56, but I still had a lot to make up for. I was lucky enough that most of the questions I missed were food-related. You think I would know my husband's favorite foods--after all, the way to a man's heart is his stomach. But, I think all his traveling has changed his food preferences; or perhaps, I'm not used to cooking for him anymore:)

So we began the evening with his favorites: broccoli, watermelon, and my homemade fettucini alfredo (I used to make this all the time when we were first married, but then I recognized that butter and heavy whippping cream--the 2 main ingredients--are horribly unhealthy, so I stopped making it. And an embarassing side note--I made this meal the first time I cooked dinner for my super-healthy-in-laws. They must have cringed when they saw the butter-soaked noodles.)

During dinner, each of the family members had their own age-appropriate math worksheet to work on, since math is Nathan's favorite subject. For the record, I never once recall Nathan coming home from MBA school excited about math problems--yet he was always enthusiastic when he spoke about his marketing classes. Hmmmm....I think he got this one wrong--not me.

After dinner we went in the family office for some random dancing (he claimed he didn't know what dancing was on his answer sheet--so I didn't even have a chance of getting it right); and we danced to his favorite song "Eruption." Also, "Eruption" has no words to it, so I don't think it should have counted. I thought his favorite song was one that he had written. What a humble man.

After dinner Nathan and I met my sister and brother-in-law at The Cheesecake Factory for Nathan's favorite dessert--Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake. He ate it so quickly that I didn't have time for a photo.

When we got home Nathan serenaded me with his Les Paul (favorite toy) and we watched The Bourne Identity (favorite movie). The easiest points I earned were from the question: What's your favorite activity...I thought it was recording music, but it was spending time with Megan...aaahhhhh! I got those points just for showing up!

We had a fabulous time spending time together. Thanks Dad and Mary Lee!
