Last weekend I went on a much needed trip to visit Darcy in Lexington. It was great to see her. It had been over a month since my last visit!

We had a really good time. Saturday was a completely lazy day. We slept half the day, killed 4 hours at borders, then went home and watched a movie and fell asleep. It was great!

On Sunday we went on a double date our new friends Jen and Paul. Jen is finishing up her MS in teaching and plans to do missionary work in Papua New Guinea. Paul was recently involved in starting a local church. I'm really happy that Darcy & I now have another couple to go on double dates with! We both need to be just a little bit more social when we’re together.

The date took us on a road trip to Mitchell's Fish Market in Newport, KY (right across the river from Cincinnati). It was expensive but well deserved. Darcy & I hadn't treated ourselves to a really nice dinner for a long time. After dinner we went for a stroll on the Purple People Bridge, a pedestrian-only bridge that spans the Ohio River. The weather was perfect. It was one of the highlights of the evening.

On Monday we walked downtown to the fountains and spent several hours there just talking and enjoying each other's company. After that we brought home ice cream and watched a mostly incomprehensible movie that involved recursive (?!) time travel. Nonetheless, it was geeky sci-fi so we both were happy.

I forgot that I had the camera until the very end so all I have is this pic that I took right before I left on Tuesday morning.
