For date night this week G and I decided to mix things up a bit and try something new!
First I bought two tickets to the BYU opera!
Beatrice en Benedict was the name of this particular opera. Its a two act opera about an hour and half long. Basically if you didn't catch on by the title its the story of Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare. My friend from my freshman ward Jennifer Mckay (In the link above at about 0:45 you can see her singing!) was playing Beatrice. Since I knew G was being such a trooper by tagging along with me I decided to make him a DELICIOUS dinner so that he would be in a good mood!! I made New York steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls (okay okay so I bought the rolls from the store) corn and topped it all off with a glass of cold milk! I was quite impressed with myself! haha needless to say that was just the ticket to start off our date night on the right foot!

| Our hearty dinner! |
After dinner we changed into our "fancy opera going clothes". Although dress code was just business casual I still wanted to get dressed up! I remember going to operas and symphonies as a child and always picking out my fanciest dress to wear. After we were both got dressed up I made G stand still for a picture! I just wanted everyone to see how handsome a guy I have!

| Beautiful day outside! |
After the the opera was done we both felt more cultured and educated. We felt like better people... okay okay so
I felt more educated and cultured and like a better person. G just really really wanted to know the score of the Heat vs. Maverick game...so we went out for ice cream! As I enjoyed my Creme Brulee and Dark chocolate ice cream with caramel sauce and strawberries on top, G watched the last minutes of the game while eating his chocolate ice cream.

He was so wrapped up in the game he
didn't even notice me take this picture! haha |
Sad to say the Heat lost... but that's okay because our ice cream was still so delicious! We went home and G admitted he had a good time and would like to do it again! See what a good guy I have?!? And that is how we have a classy date night!!
