Too hot to handle

Sterling and I made it on a date--our first official 'babysitter' Friday night, on the town, sort-of-a date since Will was born. (It's been almost three months folks.) But Sterling was feeling oh-so-good because he got out of his LAST DAY of classes, and was ready to enjoy the night before focusing on the thought that finals start on Monday. It was a perfect interlude. So we cruised downtown 25th street. It was restaurant week in Ogden, and to fully experience this, we decided to try it out at maybe more than one restaurant. Our first choice was Jasoh's. Did you know its on the second floor of a building? Cool. We shared a three course meal (that was the option for restaurant week) and it was REALLY good. But since we just shared, I was still a bit hungry. So after running home to feed the babe, we explored 25th street a bit more---if you haven't been around there lately, you should definitely try it out. Especially when you are kidless and spirited because then every little nook and cranny looks picturesque and you just fall in love with the mom&pop feel of the place. Ahem. We've been to Rooster's before, but after deciding that I was still more than a bit hungry, we decided to do another round of a shared 3-course meal (can't go wrong when its only $15 right?). We also tried their bread pudding (I've been a connoisseur since we had some that was absolutely divine with a gift card to Tuscany's...I've already made Sterling promise to take me back for our fiftieth wedding anniversary, its that expensive.) and it was really great! So basically, our date consisted of two restaurants, and a couple walks around historic Ogden. And it was the perfect way to reconnect again after a semester that was really hard. Sterling has been working two jobs this entire semester on top of his over full-time credit hours, he has been finishing up all his paper work to apply to medical school, I had a baby, and he was in the hospital for RSV for a week. I am so glad that through all of that, I had an incredible husband by my side...even if he could rarely be literally by my side. We also accidentally brainstormed awesome date night ideas for the future (getting out of the house was really rejuvenating, haahaa) and I am super excited that Sterling is ONLY working two jobs this summer and some of those ideas might actually come to pass! Thanks Danica for being an awesome babysitter!
