For date night the boyfriend and I watched the movies " Valentine's Day" and "13 going on 30". Two very chick flicks! Souwan entertained himself with having drinks and dinner. We even had movie popcorn. Yum! Couples can still have a date night in. Find a good movie and some dinner makes for a great night together. I have a collection of chick flicks, a little obsessed. If you don't have a collection get movies from Red Box for $1. I love the dinner part the most. Check out Souwan's entry later this week for what we had to drink on date night!
