Last night we had our April date-"The Bucket List". I actually had to switch our original April date with June's date because I just didn't have time to pull-off the original April date the way I wanted to. I hope that Adam wasn't too disappointed (since he actually remembers what April was supposed to be). Anyway, I left this cute little bucket along with the DVD case for the movie "The Bucket List" on the counter by Adam's sink yesterday morning.
In case you can't read the note, it says, "You can't 'kick the bucket' yet-we still have so much to do! Join me tonight @7:00 for "The Bucket List" date! Come prepared to laugh, cry and DREAM!"
It worked out pretty well because we'd already planned to have oven fried chicken for dinner last night. I just told Adam to pretend we were eating it out of a bucket. :)
After we got the kids in bed, we kicked back with our bucket of kettle corn, and enjoyed watching the movie together. Neither of us had seen the movie before (at least not the whole thing), but Heather had bought it for Adam for his birthday, so that worked out really well. I thought the movie was pretty good, though there is a bunch of crude language in it.
When the movie was over, we got our pen and paper and started making a bucket list together. One of these days I will post it on our family blog, so we always have it somewhere handy, but it includes some things like: go on a cruise, give up our place in line to a young family with several kids, take the kids to Disneyland/Disneyworld, finish the Book of Mormon as a family and the standard works as a couple, etc. It was fun to be able to talk about the things we'd like to be able to do together someday and to start to plan for or keep working on some of them now.
This date was super simple and I threw it together very quickly. It cost us $1 for the bucket and $1 for the popcorn (though I didn't buy that specifically for this date). So it was really cheap, simple, and easy to plan, but it was very enjoyable and something we'll be able to look back on and remember for a long time!
