Love, Doug and Rochelle: Belated Birthday and Living Room Camping

On my birthday/Father's Day, my mom, dad, and Doug went golfing! Actually, I just drove the golf cart while they golfed. I took photos and cheered on Doug. We also found quite a few golf balls (and only lost a few). It was a lot of fun!

I've had date idea for about a year now and never got a chance to put it all together. We were always so busy and we never had a free night with a completely free day the next day (which was the ideal). Since we're leaving soon, I decided that I had to stop waiting for ideal and just do it, or otherwise it would just be something that I thought about and never did (and I don't like those). So I told Doug that we were having date night on Saturday night. I had work the next morning and he had junior high church to lead.
While he was at work I went grocery shopping and then set up the apartment for the night. I got out his camping tent, cleared the living room, and set it up. I gathered all our blankets in the apartment and made a next, hoping that it might be soft enough to sleep on.
When he got home he was super excited and thought I was a genius for having the idea (although I think I got it from a magazine, I think it was in a winter edition of Cosmo or something...which I did tell him it wasn't an original idea lol). We barbecued burgers on our little charcoal grill outside. Unfortunately, our charcoal had gone bad so we had to finish them off in the oven. I bought an onion so I could put grilled onions on mine. And lettuce. And bacon. They were delicious! We ate in the tent and then watched Muppet Treasure Island. We love Clueless Morgan, he's probably the best character. Then we made smores. We knew we couldn't use our grill, so we toasted them over our stove. Amazingness.
We tried to sleep in the tent but it was uncomfortable. And since we did have our amazing bed in the next room, we moved over there. I asked Doug, "Does it make us old if we move to our bed?" We decided that yes, it probably did make us old, but we didn't care :) It was a really fun night and I can't wait to go camping with Doug for reals! (Even though there will be no comfy bed in the other room to sleep on).

The tent!
