Date night!

Last night Chris and I got to have an amazing date night out. We have not had a night out like this in years! And I can't thank so many of my wonderful friends enough! They supplied us with a gift card for a night at Ameristar Casino Hotel plus a visa gift card for us to use on whatever. So we started our evening out with dropping the kids off at the grandparents house then heading over to the casino. We had dinner at the bar and grill and had enough food to save for later. We then headed into gamble. OK, neither one of us are big gamblers so we were completely lost in there. What happened to cards? What happened to money? Apparently they no longer use cards and you get a piece of paper back instead of money. So we spent the first hour walking around dumbfounded saying, what is going on? Then we spent our big $20 oh in about 10 minutes (thats our limit for gambling which is maybe why we don't go very often.). Then we realized they have soda machines for free.....woohoo....so we grabbed a soda and coffee and spent lots of time people watching and talking about how sad it was watching these people loose so much money! Then we headed up to our room for a relaxing night talking and watching TV, something we rarely get to do chasing three kiddos around! We got up early the next morning and headed into church which was so nice not having to entertain three kiddos during the mass. Lastly we did a little shopping and headed back to pick up the kids. We had an amazing time and unfortunately I didn't take one single picture of us the whole night! But I want to tell all my friends again....thank you so much!!!! Really, I don't know what I would do without all of you!!!! I love you all so much!!!!
