Our First Date

Wednesday night we went on our first date in over three months! That was one of the hardest things about our trip to Norway. We did not really get time away from Katherine for time as a couple. The only two dates we had while we were there were in early September when my parents came to visit. Katherine was at a stage where we would take her out with us but it seemed that half of our energy was on keeping her out of trouble.

So, Wednesday we dressed up and went to eat fajitas at Chuy's (yummmmmy!). Then we went to the Meyerson for the Dallas Symphony's dress rehearsal of Beethoven's 9th Symphony. This show is sold our for all four performances this weekend so it was a treat to be able to go FREE to the rehearsal. I actually enjoyed the rehearsal. The quality of the music was just the same as a performance but they would stop at the end of a movement and redo parts.

The Dallas Symphony Chorus also performed. I am horrible at knowing which composer and which symphony matches to which music. The last movement of Beethoven's 9th is what we would refer to as "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee". It was sung in German and absolutely beautiful.

So, we are glad to be home so that we can date again. We already have Nana and Pops booked for a few holiday events and an overnight trip for our anniversary in a few weeks.
