Date Night

It's been a while since Bryce and I have gone on an actual date.  Saturday morning Bryce helped his uncle move, at noon we went to the temple with the youth in our ward, and Bryce spent the rest of the day studying for an Organic Chemistry test.  By 8 o clock that night I was sick of watching episodes of Parks and Rec by myself and decided I would plan a surprise date.  I had to go to the store to pick up a few groceries anyway so I purchased a few supplies for our date night.  I got the idea for the date here.  When I got back from the store I quickly printed off an invitation and gave it to Bryce.  It said he needed to meet me in the driveway at 9 o clock for a surprise date.

   

The first thing we did was make geysers with diet coke and mentos.  As you can tell from the photo Bryce was pretty excited.

After we were done with the geysers we went back inside and I told Bryce our next experiment involved soap, Ivory soap specifically.  He tried to guess but wasn't able to figure out what we were going to do with it.


I hadn't actually tried this but I had seen it floating around on the web a lot so I realy hoped it would work.  


 You put the bar of soap in the microwave for 2 minutes and it turns it into a sort of cloud!  We both really had fun with this one.  It was really cool to watch it expand into a huge fluffy blob thing.

After our experiments I made coconut lime sprite and homemade sweet potato fries with honey mustard for our dessert.  Date Nights are the best and I think they are really important in a marriage.  It's important to make it a priority to spend one on one time with each other no matter what the activity.  Bryce and I decided we're going to try to do them more frequently and switch off who is in charge every week.  Hopefully it will be something we can stick too!
