Speaking of the 70's, here's some pictures

I know I posted some of these to facebook, and one is the cover photo, but I am so in love with these pictures. I can't believe I haven't shared them before. I keep forgetting. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind.

That 70's Date

Date night: 70's theme.

I drew it, planned it, and it didn't go as planned, pretty much at all. 

That happens sometimes I guess.

Here's how it went down: We knew we needed to go to the temple. Things kept getting in the way (I feel terrible saying that, but it's true!) so we made the commitment to go Friday night to Salt Lake, since the Bountiful temple is currently closed. So I planned our date around that.

We were going to start out with dinner at good ol' Schlotzkey's Deli. I found out that restaurant started up in the 70's and Paul has never eaten there before. I looked up the address for it in SLC and alas, we couldn't find it. This made me feel like I didn't read it correctly, so I had to call my dear Mother and teach her how to use google to search for it. (Since we still don't have smart phones) Still couldn't find it. By now I was getting irritated because 1-I was hungry, and when I'm hungry pretty much everything irritates me, except food. 2-I felt silly that we couldn't find this dumb restaurant. 

So we went to Chipotle instead. 

It turned out to be a good choice because Chipotle is never a bad choice.

Then we rushed back to the temple and decided at the last minute to do initiatory work instead of a session, and actually, I think that was inspired because there were SO MANY PEOPLE. Turns out that not only was Bountiful closed, but so was South Jordan. Turns out a lot of people decided Friday night was a time to go to the temple. I had to stand in line for a locker. I felt bad for the workers there, you could tell they were not expecting a crowd that big. 

I'm still glad we went and we both knew it was something that was a good choice to make. 

By the time we got home, we were too pooped to do the rest of our date, which was going to be tie-dying shirts.

So we did that in the morning. Here's some pictures with a 1977 instagram filter to help us stay true to the decade.

They turned out pretty good! We plan on wearing the red white and blue ones on the 4th of July.

It all still turned out to be fun, just not as "planned", but sometimes life just happens.

WIW: Week 8

After a fun weekend with family, we had the pleasure of hosting little brother Cory for a night. He didn't actually get to our place until about 3 in the morning because he was practicing on the MOTAB organ down on temple square. He's currently in the audition process of trying to be a guest organist on temple square. As you can see, he looked a little tired when I snapped this picture before I left for work the next morning. Looks like someone didn't get all of their beauty sleep. . .
