Rare Date Night

My husband and I enjoyed an evening out together for the first time in a LONG LONG TIME. The last time we had needed a babysitter was a year ago last November, when we celebrated a friend's 50th birthday with other friends. I honestly do not remember the last time my husband and I went out for dinner alone! It could have been almost two years ago, on an occasion when my sister in law was visiting.

Anyways, we went to an Indian Restaurant. My husband, who works for an British-owned company, was introduced to this restaurant by some of his co-workers who are from England. Neither of us has much familiarity with Indian food so this was a bit of an adventure for us.

When we left we had two babysitters and one of Samuel's helpers at our house. His helper went home within a half hour after that. Our babysitters have known us for 6 years and it is such a relief to be able to leave our children with them without a worry. Even though we don't need a babysitter very often, they are over at our house regularly to help me in other ways so our children know them and are very comfortable with them. They are wonderful with Samuel, without my having to go into all kinds of explanations of how to do things with him or for him.

The food was good! I hope the restaurant will be around for a while, I want to go back. So many places are at risk of closing down because of the bad economy.
