My husband now has this great new slightly more normal schedule where he works weekdays. Unfortunately they involve the evenings so we decided to celebrate our anniversary on Sunday.
We talked about how we wanted to celebrate the occasion.
He threw out the standard dinner & a movie thing.
I thought it might be fun to go for a hike or something outdoors while the weather was nice.
We attempted to have this discussion amid a toddler crying to be held every ten seconds, a 6 year old whining about not being able to beat some level in yet another Mario Bros game and our little dog barking incessantly at the cat who was silently tormenting him from the roof.
Decision made.
What we most wanted to do was talk without any interruptions.
That's all.
You don't realize how much you will miss getting to hold a quiet conversation with your spouse until there are children who need your constant attention and demand it loudly.
My wonderful in-laws allowed us to use their guest cabin near Shaver Lake so we could enjoy the outdoors and have some time alone.
We had an incredible day. No fancy lunch, just some Subway sandwiches, enjoyed a dip in the hot tub, took a walk down to the half frozen pond, and just talked and talked and talked.
Heaven.
On the way home we got to see this incredible sunset.
