Date Night!!

 Life around the Kassouf household has been quite crazy over the last month and will be this way for awhile.  Andrew and I are both in grad school right now so every weekend one or both of us have had class.  So last weekend after I finished my second class we went out for Date Night! Andrew who is mister creative, decided that he was going to develop a "Choose Your Own Adventure" date.  He got the idea from the children's books where you get to choose which the outcome.

At the beginning of the date I got an envelop that said I was going to "Choose My Own Date Night".  Andrew told me that I would have to make 3 decisions during our date and that I got one flip ahead where I could get all the details of the choice; the rest of the decisions would be based on clues.  My first choice was to choose dinner; I needed to choose between Mexican or Italian food.  And my choice would effect the rest of the evening.  I choose Italian; although this was a very tough decision because Andrew does not normally like to eat Mexican food out so I almost choose Mexican just because it was a rare opportunity.  But, I was in a pasta mood so Italian it was!  After I choose Italian I got a second envelop.  On the outside it told me we would be going to Italian Sensations a local chain and at the end of dinner I could open the envelop for my next destination.

After dinner finished I opened the envelop and it told me that dessert was our next stop.  (Dessert is my favorite so I was very excited!)  My choices were to choose "Red, Green, and White" or "Pink, Green, and White".  This was very difficult because dessert is a very serious matter and I did not want to make the wrong choice!  I had a feeling that "Pink, Green, and White" was code for Sweet Frog.  "Red, Green, and White" was harder to figure out but I had an inkling that it was for the Italian flag; which meant that it was for Vaccaro's, an Italian pastry shop based in little Italy known for their desserts.  A few years ago they opened a cafe version in Bel Air so I was hoping that "Red, Green, and White" was for Vaccaro's.  So I took a chance and picked "Red, Green, and White" without using my flip ahead.  I got my 3rd envelop and the front said .... Vaccaro's!  I was RIGHT!! Dessert was amazing! Although, I ate way too much; I had a Nutella latte (which was absolutely wonderful, for coffee lovers out there it was the best!) then got a few different Italian cookies to try, and I had a chocolate iced cream puff and Andrew had Amaretto Tiramisu. Needless to say we waddled out of Vaccaro's but I waddle a lot now so it's all good.

After we ordered dessert I got to open up the 3rd envelop which said we were off to our final destination and I had to choose Men, Women, or Children. I had a feeling that they were referring to movies but I was not sure so I used my flip ahead.  Which meant I got to see all 3 options of the envelop 4.  The Men option was to go see "Lone Survivor", the Women option was "Labor Day", and the Children option was "The Nut Job".  I choose "Labor Day" so off to the movies we went!

It was such a nice evening and I loved every minute that I got to spend with the love of my life! He is so good to me and so creative, I love him!!  As he would say he "Kassouf'ed" our data night to make it spectacular!
