Good Catch

Sometimes, Lee captures the best photo in the bunch.

Grilled Chicken

I just saw the coolest tool in the Williams-Sonoma catalog (aren't they all the coolest?), so I guess this is not news to anyone but me: grilling an entire chicken is so yummy and juicy! We just used a cast iron skillet to weight it down.

The finished product!

CFA Date Knight

Lee and I went on our first "official" date a couple of weekends ago. We went to the Chick-Fil-A Date Knight, and we had a great time. I know many have been to these events, but this was our first one. Of course, it was first rate - they seated us, took our orders, had a balloon artist who made swords, holsters, shields, and helmets for the boys. She even made balloon flowers for the boys to give to the moms. We did not have to get out of our seats for any of this. The only things we got up to do was put toppings on our ice cream and have our picture taken. Though we didn't even have to do that - someone had already come by to take our picture at the table. Just in case I forgot my camera, they took one with theirs, and gave us access to a private Shutterfly album so we could print them. What a great time we had together; he is still talking about it! I highly recommend.
