Mae Mae: eight.

January 10, 2013

eight.

8 years ago (this last Tuesday) I married this guy...

and I've been having a blast ever since.

This year we had the best anniversary yet. My mom drove an hour and a half (one way) to babysit (God bless her) and Sean took me to my very favorite restaurant in the city... This was my first time leaving Abiella AND my first time in a restaurant since I left for Africa in late-September.

Sept...emb...errrrrr....

That's like 4 weeks BEFORE Halloween... what?!?

I was pretty much shaking I was so excited.

It was hard leaving Abi, but as soon as Sean and I sat down at a booth my mom sent a pic of Abiella smiling and I was able to relax. I got my favorite meal, favorite drinks, ate two baskets worth of my favorite chips and salsa and then walked across the street to my favorite ice cream shop. I got sweet potato & burnt marshmallow ice cream. It. was. divine.

Cheers to the next 8 Sean!

Can't wait!!

Princess Kate said...: Sounds like it was perfect. You know I always get upset when Willy plans an outing because I hate leaving the kids but once I know they are fine and doing well without me, I'm so happy to be just spending time out.

Happy Anniversary.; January 11, 2013 at 1:20 PM
