Date Night with Donny Osmond!
Last Monday night Neal and I went on a date! We should go on more dates, but we have ZERO young women in our ward, and I hate to ask people who already have kids or who are married and have a life. LUCKILY, our niece Ellie has moved out to Provo for college, and she is so sweet to our boys. I try to prepare Caius for things out of the ordinary by talking about it a lot the day before, and I don't have to mention Ellie more than twice before he's talking about her non-stop.
We decided to go to Tucanos for dinner. Tucanos is a Brazillan churrascaria. It is basically a huge barbeque. They come around with great big chunks of meat and slice pieces off and you grab it with little tongs. They also have a huge salad bar, where you can get pasta, rice and beans, fried plantains, etc. It is pretty authentic according to Neal, who lived in Brazil for 2 years during his mission. AND, on your birthday they send you a coupon for one free meal!
After we ate we went to Color Me Mine. We went a little over a year ago and started a few things but didn't have time to finish. So we decided we should probably finish them. While we were painting a family came in and stood next to our table while they looked at the ceramics they could choose to paint. Neal and I glanced up at them and saw that it was Donny Osmond! We weren't completely sure at first, so we just sort of secretly stared at him. It was definitely him. Neither Neal nor I am really a fan, but who hasn't heard of him? I think he lives here in Provo with his family so I'm sure a lot of people have seen him around. So we didn't actually have a date night with Donny, but we saw him. ;) I don't think I did a very good job of making that sound exciting. Maybe I should have improved the experience a bit by saying we talked to him and he sang a song for us or something. Really, just before he came in, Neal and I had been talking about good waiters. We prefer the kind that don't stop by every 5 minutes and try to be your best friend. We like to be left alone to enjoy our meal with maybe an occasional check in. We aren't alone very often, so when we go on a date we really want to have ample time to enjoy each other...not our waiter. How annoying would it have been if we had barged in on Donny's family time. I'm sure he is noticed and maybe bothered by fans all the time. He and his family looked like they were having a good time together. He looked just like he does in this picture...except shorter than I would have expected, and his outfit wasn't so suave.
P.S. I'm not sure why this is in italics, but it won't let me change it.

Just kidding. I feel left out, I've never seen him. Ugh.
Glad your date night was a success!
