Penelope Lou – 5 months old

Date Night == Ethiopian & Iron Man

we had a date last night (our first in 6+ months) and ate Ethiopian food and watched “Iron Man“. Both the food and the movie were fantastic! Maybe it’s because we haven’t really had a night to ourselves in a while; maybe it’s because we haven’t seen a movie in a few months… but we both loved every second of our date and I personally will be re watching iron man a few times.
