Yesterday was our two year anniversary and we celebrated by going out for dinner. Grandma Pam drove out here to take care of Lexi while we went to Olive Garden. As usual it was delicious and it was nice spending a couple of hours with my husband. We talked and looked at pictures of Baby Doll on the Ipod and just thanked our lucky stars that we've been able to achieve so much in so little time. We've been together for almost four years and really it seems like its only been one. We usually go out to the Melting Pot for our special events but because I am breastfeeding Lexi and we haven't introduced a bottle, we could only be gone for two hours before we had to be back. The Melting Pot always takes our entire evening so we decided to stick with one of our favorites that was a bit closer to home. We didn't get each other anniversary gifts, instead we settled on going to the Metallica concert as our gifts even though we bought the tickets in April. It was weird being away from Lexi for even that short time. I missed her and couldn't wait to come home and be with her. We ended our evening with a little family time, talked, and cuddled. It was a great way to spend our day.
Glad you were able to celebrate your anniversary by going somewhere. Sometimes it is nice to get way form motherhood responsibilities. Although I am usually ready to get back home. You don't realize how much you miss your kids (or kid) until you leave them. I don't know if Ryan and I have ever celebrated ours on its actual day, maybe I will get lucky and it will fall on a weekend one year.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Two years?! time flies. You deserve a little time to yourselves, but it's crazy how much you miss your little ones when you are gone (even is its only for a few minutes). its bad enough that every conversation that you have from here on out is about them. What you do is all for them. Motherhood changes you so much. Isn't it so great?
