A Life Post: Cupcake + Breakfast Dates.

I sort of realized last night that I NEVER talk about my life on here anymore. I think it's because since we've moved I honestly don't do all that much, but that's all about to change. It's gotten way too boring around here, and I can't stand it anymore. One way this is changing is that Josh and I are going to start having weekly date nights! I'm so excited about this. Not only will it be good for us to get out and about, but I think it will just have such a great impact on our relationship. : )

So, for our first date night Josh and I went to the new cupcakery here in Springfield, "The Cup." I'd been once before with my friend Abby, and a couple of her neat friends, but Josh hadn't gone yet. And I felt he needed to. Plus, I just like cupcakes a lot. (Just wait...) 

Josh hates basically anything with an interesting flavor. So he just got the "Confetti Cupcake," which is a french vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting and little sprinkles on top. I tried a new flavor, (the first time I got "Tuxedo," chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and mini oreo on top.) Grasshopper! It's a chocolate cupcake with mint buttercream and a mint chocolate candy on top. YUM.

We sat for awhile and just talked and enjoyed each other's company. It was real nice. :) I meant to take pictures! But I accidentally ate my cupcake before I remembered...

When we were leaving, I asked Josh if we could get a cupcake to go, for us to split. He declined, but said I could go ahead and get one if I still wanted. Um...I wanted. Enter: Summer Crush cupcake. An orange cupcake with orange and vanilla buttercream frosting with a gummi bear on top and a cream filled center! I didn't eat it that night, but saved it for breakfast the next day. (Don't judge.)

Another impromptu date we had happened last night, after I got home from a real fun evening out. (this deserves it's very own post!) We went to IHOP! I got the super wonderful "International Crepe Passport" with nutella crepes! And Josh got some appetizer basket. (BOOORING.) This night was so much fun. :)

There was a table of a few men and women a bit behind us, and we talked about them, and tried to figure out who was with who, and all that. This one guy was totally trying to impress this girl by doing really goofy stuff, further ensuring Josh and I that our guess that they were "just talking" was true. 

Then, Josh tried to do magic tricks and spilled water all over the table. So impressive. Maybe he should have taught that guy those tricks, so he could impress that girl more. I think so!
