Date Night

Glenn and I switched with a couple in our ward for date nights. So Saturday night we went out on a date. We decided it would be fun to go to an area just north of us that we had not explored yet. The area was a mile away and it would have been just as much work to use the subway so we decided to walk. It was a chilly night, but not bitter. So we walked our mile north and had a great talk. We made it to Montegue Street and walked along trying to find a resturant. After eating a nice meal and enjoying the warmth we ventured outside for our walk home. Once we got out there we realized it was sprinkling rain. It wasn't too bad so we made the best of it and kept walking. Within five minutes it began to pour rain. Finding ourselves a mile away from home in the cold rain and with not cash for a taxi and having no umbrella we were in for an interesting evening. So what was our best option...yep a nice jog in the rain. So we booked it with our heavy coats, gloves, and hats on. Every now and then we would stop at a restuarant overhang and wipe our eyes so we could see better. We were completely soaked within seconds.

I had to laugh a little, because it makes me believe that we (Glenn and I) don't learn our lessons. The ironic thing is that the first time we visited brooklyn to find housing we got stuck in the rain with no umbrella or cash for a car. We ran that day too. We ran from our new apartment to our hotel which was yes, probably a mile or a little longer. At least that rain was warm. I do think I was unbeleivable wet the first time, done to the bone, so at least I am learning to run faster or maybe the extra layers helped.

When will we ever learn, until then, I really don't mind running in the rain, it makes it all that much more fun. Then again, I don't mind paying $7 to have a dry ride home either.
