movie night

I saw this DIY valentine's night popcorn invitation for a movie night in, and I couldn't resist making my own for date night.

I had pretty much everything except the popcorn bucket and M&M's. I got the popcorn bucket for $1 at the Dollar Tree, and a small package of valentine colored M&M's for $0.79, so this cost less than $2 to make!

Since I'm using this for our date night, and not valentine's day, I had to make my own heart magnet. I made mine with the heart drawing tool in MS Paint and then added the text over it. So easy! Mine may not look as pretty as hers, but it will do!

A few of Charlie's co-workers have a band called the The Sun Downers. We went and watched them play at a coffee shop in Garland. They remind me a little of Ray LaMontagne and little of Blind Pilot all mixed together. Very chill. We'll definitely see them again. 

We got there a little early and walked around downtown to find a place to eat. Our choices were Mexican or Italian, and we decided on the Italian. It was a cozy little Mom & Pop restaurant. I got a slice of cheese pizza, he got pepperoni, and we split the "chef's special"

So lucky to have him as my future husband!

We've started making Thursday our "date night." We live in an amazing city that has so much to offer, so we've decided to take turns surprising each other with fun new things to do. Our only rule is that it can't cost more than $25/person. This week was my turn and I chose Pocket Sandwich Theatre. It's only $10 and completely worth it. They put on incredibly corny, but very funny plays while you have dinner and drinks. The best part is that you get a container of popcorn to throw. You can throw it at the actors, your waiter, the people around you, or at each other (which is where most of ours went). 


We saw "O Brother, Werewolf Art Thou?" We didn't expect much, but we laughed the whole time.

We didn't get any pictures of the performance, but here's one from their website:

I already have a great idea for my next turn to plan :)
