Nines on el Nueve: Baby Bull!

Last fall I was watching some show and I can't for the life of me remember the name of it. There was a couple who tried to be fancy shmancy instead of who they were. They had gotten into a rut of coming home, throwing on the comfy clothes and heating up frozen dinners or something. They decided they would be fancy people and get dressed up every night. After a week thy were exhausted and decided they just needed date nights.

I thought about it and decided we should do the same thing. I think date nights are so important to relationships- keeping them fresh, keeping focused on each other, keeping a little bit of the spark alive. We go out to eat every now and then, sure, but I mean a real "focus on each other" date night. We get so caught up in the rush of grabbing dinner that we don't make it special anymore- it's just dinner. When we were dating we went out all the time- we had two incomes and could afford eating out four+ nights a week.

The ninth night of every month we have declared: NINES ON THE NINES! It's our Mandatory Monthly Date Night. We'll get all dressed to the nines and go out for a fancier date night. Well, we failed this month because we overbooked the day. In our defense, we did shower and get dressed a little fancy... casual fancy :D

We headed to a cute little Mexican restaurant in Temecula called El Torito. We have not had Mexica since hubs has been back home!



And trust, I make him act like a complete tourist!
My time hosting and taking pictures of people gives me enough stories so we don't look too awkward!

El Torito is possibly a chain of Mexican Restaurants. I know they have coupons in those penny saver ads for $10 off your order of $30 or more. I'm down with it. They have two patios and a really cool tile wall waterfall thing!

This is a waterfall!

 One of the best things in the world is a MANGO MARGARITE :D Wheneve we go out for Mexican, we treat ourselves to one or two.

Someone's a LUSH! We haven't even ordered food yet and his is GONE!

Absolute deliciousness.
Side Note: That bracelet is one of the many gifts hubs got me from deployment!
It came all the way from the Philippines!

 The absolute best part of date night? Sitting across the table from each other and gazing lovingly into one each others eyes:

My handsome hubs, gazing lovingly at his beautiful wife!

Our original plan was to head to Fish House Vera Cruz. Maybe next month? Do you have date nights with your significant other? I know one is going to be a fancy picnic up at the Temecula Duck Pond! We're ready to explore our area, and spend some special time with one another in the process!

Cuddles and Kisses,
The Mrs.
