5 years ago this weekend, I met the man I'd love forever! And four years and two weeks ago we were married. It was a beautiful day, and I have had a wonderful life with him ever since. I wouldn't mind if we had a million more years just like the last four we've spent together.I guess I am feeling romantic -- all the pictures I uploaded are mushy ones. So sorry for you.
We were reunited the day before our anniversary after a week apart. The boys and I were in CA, and meanwhile Scott was been busy planning an anniversary to remember, which included:* a long, long stemmed rose for every year of our marriage
* surprising me by coming home for lunch, and bringing along a favorite treat that has special meaning (Reese's Peanut Butter cereal)
* feeling fancy while eating at Perrys Steakhouse. mmmmmmm.....
* a get-away for the weekend to a location of my choice from three fabulous options, with babysitters already arranged. (Kearns fam, you rock. Thank you a million times.)
I fell in love with the modern decor at Option #1, as he knew I would. It was only an hour away, but felt a world away from normal life. I won't say we didn't still talk quite a bit about our kids, but I loved doing everything without considering naptimes or carrying around a single diaper. It was rejuvenating, and oh-so-perfect.
Here is a little video of our digs for the night. I wish I could have brought home one of the cool lamps along with all the fancy soaps we pocketed.
This was our first night away together since becoming parents (because, as my sister-in-law pointed out, spending the night at a hospital following the birth of a child doesn't count) and it was incredible. We stayed out late, slept in, ate well, had long, blissfully uninterrupted conversations, and reveled in how much we love being together. Highlights included spending all evening at an on-site water park overlooking the lake, and eating breakfast by the waters' edge of Lake Conroe. And eating. Ohh, did we eat.
*** Scott was up to more than just planning this anniversary while I was away... up next is a post about an amazing project that kept him very busy until we returned! ***
