Date Night @ the Shogun Grill 9-11-09

Stephen and I have been wanting to spend some time together lately. He surprised me and told me one afternoon that his mom and dad were going to keep all 5 of the kids while we went to take a walk across the road in the pasture. He and I got dressed and ready to venture out. We dropped off all the kids at his mom and dads, and went walking. It had been drizzling off and on the whole day, but never really rained. Wouldn't you know that about 20 minutes into our walk, it started to really rain. We ran to take cover under a big post oak tree and managed to stay fairly dry. Then we thought of all the walking we weren't getting done and all the time that was going by, so we decided to keep walking- rain or no rain. It was so much fun. It was something I had always dreamed of...taking a walk in the rain with my lover...holding hands...doing a little smoochin'...anyways, it was something you couldn't really plan on doing, it would just have to happen, and it sure did. We were gone for a little over an hour, went back home, showered up and got dressed and ready to go out to eat. We went down and picked Jame up, and headed to Conroe. Stephen had made reservations earlier that afternoon for the place he thought he wanted to take me. We ended up running a little late, so he called them to let them we wouldn't be there on time. It is a good thing he did, because the place he really wanted to take me that we went to, was not the same place he made reservations at. Oh well, he tried.

Here we are after our lovely walk in the rain. We were both dripping wet, but neither one of us minded. We can't wait to do it again.

Here is our cheff at the Shogun Grill. He comes out with a cart that has all the ingredients on it for the menu items we ordered. Then he prepares everything, does a few tricks while he is cooking, and cooks your meal right there in front of you. It is so fun to watch.

Stephen ordered fried rice, beef and vegetables. It looks so delicious! Everything was cooked just right...nice and tender, full of flavor, steaming hot. Man it was sure good!

I ordered my favorite noodles with chicken. They were just wonderful! We each also got 2 shrimp as an appetizer that came with the meal. We both cleaned our plates and wanted more.

Here is James, Stephen and I after supper. We had such a wonderful time. On our way home, he took me and got us each a frappuccino at Starbucks. What a way to top off a wonderful evening. Thank you Stephen!!
