Anniversary Time (Almost)

Joe and I are coming up on a most auspicious occassion (at least for us). On August 1 we will celebrate 5 years together. This is not something unexpected. When Joe and I met we both knew that we were going to be together for as long as God allows us to be on this earth. It never took a piece of paper to solidify that fact. It is more of a time of reflection of all that God has brought us through and our commitment to each other. So, (drum roll please) for this anniversary I am spending my first night away from love bug EVER. Since she was born, I have not spent one evening away from her. I have kissed and tucked her in almost every night since she was born. So this will be a little difficult for me. I love my daughter very much and it just hasn't really been a need for me. Joe and I wanted to have some time just to ourselves where we can focus on each other. Not too mention we are adults and need to do adult things like stay up late, have a few cocktails and well, you get the picture. We went to actually look at rooms today (because you can't trust what you see online) and found that the place most highly recommended was in fact the best. It was immaculate and also recently renovated not to mention the customer service was amazing and they gave love bug a pink sandpal and purple shovel and we hadn't even booked a room! We asked about the need to book immediately and they said, you've got two weeks before the date so there is no rush. I was floored! They also have a beautiful pool and jacuzzi. There were a few other places that had a few more amentities but the prices were way out of our league. I am sorry but I just can't justify two hundred dollars a night for a room I will spend no time in and for amentities I will not use. Well it is way past my bed time and Monday morning is more painful than most so I'll go for now.

Coming Soon

I promise I will have new pictures up soon. None of love bugs par-tay due to the fact that our camera is apparently in need of replacing but newer pictures from the last month. The 3rd birthday party for sweet pea was great! She thoroughly enjoyed the candy from the pinata and the cake brought much excitment too. I have to say though that her greatest joy was opening present after present like a pro. She even showed off her clothes to everyone holding them up for all to see and turning them around. She has been especially clever and is talking so much more lately and it's great! We were leaving the baby sitter's house yesterday and the baby sitter said to love bug, see you later alligator. Love bug just tilted her head to the side, looked at her baby sitter very seriously and said, I not alligator I love bug. It was so funny and completely hilarious. My precious one did get a huge amount of toys and clothes and I am very glad that I cleaned out her old toys prior to the party. Love bug this week getting better at going to the bathroom like a big girl and has been saying yes ma'am. I love good manners and it's one of the many reasons I love our baby sitter. Well I am wiped and must get some sleep for work tomorrow. I have a six week work week this week and next week (did I say week enough).
