Last night, Paul and I were able to go on a date for our anniversary. That's right, kid free! A lot of times I feel as though Paul and I don't take enough time for just the two of us to stay connected; we are always out with the girls or home with the girls. That's why I was trying so hard to find a babysitter last night, because while I love my kids, Paul and I needed the time to celebrate us!
We dropped the girls off with my cousin Crystal, who was amazing enough to watch them for the night...this was a much needed opportunity for the girls to play with their cousins Olivia and Ella too, since we don't see them much, so it really worked out great! After dropping the kiddos off we went to dinner at the same place we had our rehearsal dinner 4 years ago. I let Paul order for me, so I would be "forced" to try something new....we shared crab cakes and then we each had a drilled Ma hi sandwich. They tasted great and I never knew what I was missing out on until I had those two new dishes! YUM! I have to say too, that our dinner conversation was amazing too....the only thing said about any of our kids was a short discussion of the name of baby #3...this is a big deal to me, because sometimes I feel that since the girls are our life, that's all that there is to talk about....so it was nice to discuss things other than the girls...a breath of fresh air!
After dinner we went to see Eclipse, the 3rd movie in the Twilight saga, and I will admit it was better than the first two (acting wise) and the air conditioning felt wonderful!
We picked up the girls after the movie and came home where they both fell soundly asleep in a matter of minutes...the perfect ending to the perfect evening!
I am hoping Paul and I are able to find some time to celebrate us and go out more often than just on our anniversary...
