Anniversary Weekend

We had a wonderful time this weekend on our anniversary trip. I think we both really needed a break and just didn't realize how badly it was necessary until we got there! Each morning, we both woke up about 6:30-7:00 and just bracing for the impact of the day and.....nothing happened. It was kind of shocking, actually! We were able to wake up, leisurely get dressed, enjoy a cup of coffee, read the paper, get breakfast and decide what to do for the day. There was no rushing around to try to find something to wear, letting the dogs out, getting the baby up, changing the diaper, feeding the baby, feeding the dogs, getting baby dressed while simultaneously brushing your teeth and combing your hair, changing the diaper AGAIN right before trying to get out the door, only to go to a job that neither one of us are really thrilled about going to, then coming home and doing it all over again. It was weird! There's absolutely no doubt that we love our life with our little monkey man....you can tell that by the bajillion pictures I have of him posted everywhere. However, I think we forgot about what it was like to just spend time together and focus on us and our goals and accomplishments, without all of the craziness. We've made points to go to dinner every now and then or go see a movie by ourselves, but I just don't think it was enough time for us to have some quality time together. So this was a good weekend for us. We got to explore some caverns, float down the river, taste some amazing food, play with some farm critters, and just RELAX. We missed our monkey TONS, but it was hard not to fantasize about retiring early and moving to the hill country FOREVER. We absolutely love it there! It was a great way to mark the first year of our marriage and I'm so glad we had the opportunity to take our little getaway.
