DATE NIGHT!!!

It has been hard to do date night with AJ this summer. I don't necessarily know why, but this week we decided to pick up the pieces of date night. 

We were dropped off at the Seiyu... We had some errands to run. We ended up sitting to chat at a kitchen display. It was like IKEA, but in the middle of the arts and crafts section of Level 4. 

Then we wandered... Here and there and everywhere. I desperately wanted to go down streets I hadn't be before. aj agreed. 

We found another chain of the cafe (cafe du jardin) and got a little treat to tie us over until we found a suitable restaurant for dinner. Across the street we saw an ADORABLE skinny house that I loved. Keep in mind that I am 5'2" and my arms can almost reach across. 

After following signs for a specific restaurant, we ran into a different one that looked delicious. udon noodles! 

We walked in and the main chefim editable noticed that we were out of place. He hurried around the counter and in English helped us order!! He made sure everyone in the kitchen knew our order well and  got us settled at the register. 

When our food came out, AJ put some mix-ins in his noodle bowl. boy does he love those green onions.

The chef came over with a second bowl of noodles made the way AJ ordered them. Whaaaaaaat? He then took AJs original bowl and mixed the correct mix-ins in the proper order. last but not least, he added the massive amounts of green onions. 

I know it looks exactly the same, but it was done properly and he made us smile! 

As we were leaving, I pulled out my phrase book and let the chef know how grateful we were for his help! Then I asked if we could take a picture, and he understood what I was saying! Wahoo. 

Thank goodness for the phrase books.

Anyways, happy date night to us! 

We have some great plans for tomorrow... I'll post again!
