My Sweetheart and the Ballet

Usually around Valentine's Day Wes and I will go to a bed and breakfast for a night. Since Violet is still pretty young we decided instead to go on a special date. Wes splurged and got us tickets to go see Sleeping Beauty by Ballet West at the Capitol Theatre.



We both got dressed up which was particularly fun. Not everyone does that for the Ballet anymore. We ended up going to a matinee. It was Wes' first time going to the ballet. The story was absolutely wonderful and the dancers were amazing. I really liked the girl who played Sleeping Beauty. She was a beautifully talented dancer, and she was also very expressive. Our seats were wonderful and could see everything that was going on clearly. There is just something about ballet that can transport you to an entirely different world.

After the ballet we went out to dinner at PF Chang's. We enjoyed chatting, and laughing with each other. I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful husband. It is great when we can get out together and just have alone time.

It seems there is never enough couple time, yet it is so important. Let me know if you need me to watch the girls on a weekend! ...j
