Dinner + Movie Giveaway {& Link Up Thursdays}

By Fawn Weaver on Thursday, February 7, 2013

**THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED – WINNER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED BY EMAIL**

One of my favorite things to do with Keith is dinner and a movie. So when we were contacted by our friends at Fandango offering to give one of our members a Valentine’s Day dinner and a movie package, we jumped right on it. Let Fandango help make your Valentine’s Movie Date Night (or any night you choose) a hit! They’ll make sure you get your movie tickets…the kiss is up to you!

While you’re deciding where to see your movie check out their Valentine’s Movie Guide for tips on the perfect movie to see!

Entering to win is easy. Just tell us 3 reasons you love and adore your husband in the comment section below. Bloggers: Automatically receive an additional entry by linking up to your 5 Minute Exercise post or another blog post from this week where you bragged on your hubby or added to your Why I Love My Husband never-ending list.

One (1) Happy Wives Club winner will receive:

$30 Fandango gift card
$50 Visa gift card

To obtain 5 additional entries (yep, that’s 5 additional times your name will be entered), click the “Follow All” button on our new Pinterest page (yes, it took a while but we finally made it there) and enter your Pinterest page url in the comment section below to let us know you’re now following us there.

And there’s one more thing to win! You can also enter a separate sweepstakes Fandango is offering on their own Facebook fan page to win movie tickets for an entire year! Although I can’t enter the dinner and a movie giveaway (wouldn’t that be odd if Random.org selected my name?) but I can enter the dinner for a year sweepstakes. So I did. It took longer than I thought because you have to select a bunch of your favorite love movies, but if I win a year of movie tickets, that 4 minutes would have been worth it. Good luck!

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!

Why I Love My Husband (the never-ending list):

129. I never get tired of going to the movies with him.

130. He’s not a fan of sappy love stories and yet he’s seen Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, Sweet Home Alabama and Pretty Woman more times than he can count just because I love them.

131. I’m a complete wuss when it comes to violent films. I bury my head in his chest and close my ears during the violent parts until he gives me a little kiss on the head or tap on the shoulder to let me know it’s all clear to open my eyes again.

132. He sat online shopping for boots for me this morning because I have to travel on Monday and my boots are worn out (and I’m not a fan of shopping). He gets bonus points for this one!

133. He gives in alot. If something is important to me, whether he understands it or not, he’ll give into it because he knows it’ll make me happy (I do the same, by the way).

3 Reasons Why I Love Robert?

He is persistent – he never gives up trying when he's set his sights on a goal.
Robert is a great father – he has found that middle ground for both letting go of our adult children, yet still being there when they need his advice/help.
He cleans up the kitchen after I've made a mess – AND he scrubs & polishes our flat-cooktop stove till it shines. (which takes a huge amount of time & elbow grease)

I love my husband because:

1) He is the most considerate person I've ever known. Whether it is surprising me by picking up my favorite cereal at the grocery store, or noticing when I'm having a bad day and offering me hugs and cuddles – he is always thinking of me (and others) first and taking action to show people he cares.
2) He stands up for what is right and inspires others, including me, to do the same.
3) He is SO smart. I learn something from him every day, and he is passionate about sharing things he learns with others.

I could go on and on and on and…you get the picture! He's the best. <3

(2) He loves God – has faith that is naturally on display for others to see. Practically lives at the church donating his time and resources for the spreading of the Good News of the Gospel… easy to submit to someone who is totally committed to God and knows the meaning of "Love your wife as you love your own self".
(3) He makes me super-juice shakes each morning – for breakfast and lunch, and he does his own laundry.
