Thoughtful


We were on our way back from work (Gaby had picked me up). Then Santi said "you guys haven't had any time for yourself since Dad came back, why don't you just go out for dinner and I will take care of the kids?"
We looked at each other in amazement. He was right. We had those gift certificates that we had been planning to use for a few weeks now. It didn't take a lot of time to make up our minds.

We made a stop at Caesar's and bought pizza for the kids (it was Friday after all). Then Gaby ran upstairs, got changed and away we went. I don't think I made it to the living room.

We had dinner at Ali Baba Steakhouse in uptown Waterloo, and due to the time (9:00 PM), we had the entire place just for ourselves. We relaxed, we talked, we sat quietly at times. We enjoyed each other's company.

We came back at around 11:30 PM. "How did it go?" he asked. "We had a great evening", we both said.

The food wasn't bad at all either.


Estábamos volviendo a casa de mi trabajo (Gaby me había pasado a buscar). Entonces Santi dijo "Uds. no han tenido nada de tiempo solos desde que Papá volvió, por qué no se van a cenar afuera mientras yo me ocupo de los chicos?"
Nos miramos sorprendidos. Tenía razon. Teníamos esos certificados que habíamos querido usar por unas semanas. No tomó mucho tiempo para decidirnos.

Paramos en Caesar's y compramos pizza para los chicos (era viernes después de todo). Después Gaby corrió arriba, se cambió y allí salimos. Yo creo que no llegué ni al living room.

Cenamos en Ali Baba Steakhouse en uptown Waterloo, y debido a la hora (9:00 PM), teníamos el lugar sólo para nosotros. Nos relajamos, charlamos, a veces nos quedamos en silencio. Disfrutamos de nuestra mutua compañía.

Volvimos a eso de las 11:30 PM. "Cómo les fue?", nos preguntó. "Tuvimos una noche buenísima", le respondimos.

La comida no estuvo nada mal tampoco.
