9 Years!

I can't believe I forgot to post about our nine year anniversary!! For months I was trying to figure out what to do for this anniversary. In the past we've always gone on a trip for our anniversary, some small trips, some big trips, but always somewhere overnight. With a new baby I knew that'd be pretty impossible, but I was so sad to think of skipping our trip this year. I tried to see if we could take one before the baby came, but I was so tired and uncomfortable by that point that the thought of traveling anywhere sounded horrible. Then Chris' dad died and Lauren came early, and we never got our trip. I'm still sad about that, which Chris laughs at me for.
So what we did do was take Lauren to our friends' house for her first time with a babysitter while we went to dinner. I love all my friends dearly, but there aren't many people I would have left my one and a half month old with for several hours, especially with other kids in the house, so I'm very glad this friend was available! We went to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner and Rita's for dessert. It was a little weird and we weren't sure what to talk about, but it was good to get out and feel like adults! My friend was good and texted me updates and even a picture.
