Dinner Date Night

A few weeks ago Ben and I went to The Kitchen downtown.  It was delicious!  One of the best meals out I've had in a long time.  My boss gave me a gift card here as it's one of his favorite places.  We took full advantage of free money and went all out on this dinner! 
We started out with burrata bruchetta and it was so good!  I'm not sure what was on it, but it was amazing!  For the mains, I had pork loin with spaetzle (a German dumpling) and Ben had the lamb sirloin.  For dessert we split a tiramisu.  
We were completely stuffed by the time we left!

Needtobreathe

Ben and I went to the Needtobreathe concert on Tuesday at The Ogden.  It was amazing!!!  They are one of my favorite bands and they put on an awesome show.  They are so energetic and entertaining!  If you ever get the chance to see them, you definitely should.  Ben recorded a great video, but i'm not sure how to post it....stay tuned! 
Their opening band was Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors.  You should check them out as well! They've had 2 of their songs featured on the tv show Parenthood, which is also one of my favs.

 I didn't take this picture, but I LOVE it.  

 So great! 
Ben picked up this snazzy hat, but i think it looks better on me....

Things I Love Lately

~My kitchenaid.  I've loved my kitchenaid since my parent's gave it to me for my birthday a few years ago, BUT, did you know that it shreds chicken??  Yes!!  In like 20 seconds your chicken is completely shredded into perfect little shreds!
~Finger nail polish.  All the different colors!  It's so fun and sassy.  One of my current favs is NYC New York Color.  It's really cheap at Target and it lasts about a week without chipping!
~The Voice.  I love the new vibe and comradery between the judges this year.
~Cycling season has begun!  Ben is the one who got me hooked, but i think i'm more into it now than he is!  My favorite team is looking pretty strong so far.
~Instagram.  I love the different filters you can add to your pictures.
~Ribbonwick candles.  It smells delicious and looks really cool when it burns.
~Sunrise coffee walks.  With the occasional warmer weather Ben and I have been getting up early on Saturdays and go for a sunrise walk.  Of course we have to have the coffee to go with it.
~My new Garmin watch!  It's so complicated and fancy.  it tracks distance, elevation, heart rate, calories, and many other things that i probably don't even know about yet!
~Diet A&W Rootbeer.  It's so good and reminds me of growing up!
~Compression socks.  I've been putting them on at night after my runs, and they make my legs feel so good!
~My boatshoes.  They are some of the most comfortable shoes i have!
~Baseball season is back!  We made it to opening day this year and i'm excited to catch more games this year.
~Sliced bananas with honey and cinnamon.  Super yummy snack!
