Ever since Jared was born, Rachel and I haven't had much opportunity to go out together, just the two of us. The number of times we've gone out, sans kids, can be counted on one hand. So far this year, however, we've gone out twice, and I think we're getting a taste for it. The problem is, of course, we still have kids that can't just be left home alone.

Nonetheless, last night we had dinner together, just the two of us. We even saw a movie. We fed the kids (they were having leftover burritos) and put them to bed. Then, as soon as stories and hugs and kisses were done, I went out to a nearby steakhouse to pick up burgers. We sat in the bedroom, enjoyed our burgers, and watched a movie on cable (The Rocketeer -- not bad, but not great; an enjoyable little film).

The kids were asleep by the time I got back with the food, so we weren't interrupted. While it wasn't a fancy restaurant or a theatre with a big screen, that wasn't the important part. It was Rachel and I, together, and that was all we really needed.
