theater thursday

the highlight of most weeks, and the thing that makes the weekend seem to

come a day earlier, is a new tradition we call "theater thursday."

 

when we were first married we'd drive all the way to kaysville to go to the

"dollar movie," but now we have our very own discount theater in ogden, the

cinepointe 6, where you can pretty much find us every thursday night.

thursday is "federal employee" night, where richard can get our tickets for

half-price...just another perk of having a government job!

 

we've only skipped it a few times, and its been a pretty big deal when that

has happened.  we both have great jobs, but are basically working for the weekend

every single week, and when date night comes in the middle of the week it gives

the illusion that a) the weekend is coming early, and b) our lives are a tad more

exciting than they actually are.  plus, we usually go out to eat first so its an excuse

not to cook dinner, which i'll take almost any way i can.

 

this particular week we dined at the stagecoach cafe, just around the corner

from the theater.

 

 

 

the fried chicken was a dream.  crispier than i've ever experienced, and like

it came right off of minnie's table in the movie "the help."

 

 

the pie was also good.

 

 

some of our theater thursday experiences have included:

 

real doozies:

prometheus

act of valor

chronicle

mirror mirror

people like us

 

my personal favorites:

rock of ages

this means war

we bought a zoo

salmon fishing in the yemen

what to expect when you're expecting

 

 

i'm fully aware that things will change when little richard actually

enters the picture, but i like to think that establishing a regular date night

means that we're on our way to parental perfection.
