Get away number....

Let's see how many times have we been away, just the two of us, since we were married?
1.  The Lucerne Inn.  That was our first anniversary, I was three or four months pregers with Man of the woods.  I feel like there was something else memorable that weekend.  What was it?  Oh! The bed in our hotel broke that weekend...
2. Our second anniversary I was five months pregnant with our little Laughter.  We went to a renaissance fair in New York.  We were pinching pennies that year.  My favorite memory of that trip was sharing that smoothie with you.
3. Dexter.  We stayed in that just up and running in.  Remember the heat didn't work, so we had three space heaters in our room, and some how in the middle of the night you woke up with a split lip.
4.  Then there was that trip to Freeport mixed in the bunch some where.  I know we had at least one child.


So I guess that means that the year I turned 30 is Weekend get away number 5 for us.  Kind of a Happy birthday me, and a celebrate us get away.  Our agenda for this weekend was to lock ourselves in our hotel room only escaping to eat or possibly shop if we felt like it.


We played games, ate more food then we should have, and bargain shopped mostly for the boys.  But what made my weekend was you.


72.  Married to my best friend.
73.  Still 7 years in you show me respect by opening doors, walking on the outside of the sidewalk, & giving me your arm to hold I we walk over ice or through puddles.
74.  Never ending conversation.
75.  Being able to laugh at/with each other.
76.  Pools that are no fun without our boys.
77.  Our quirky likes, such as role playing games.
78.  Holding hands.
79.  Long car rides back, not wanting our time to end.
80.  Cute little diners with food to die for.
81.  Duck tape that holds the car together.
82.  The same look in your eyes that you had the day we exchanged rings.
83.  Sister and brother in law that can get us a good deal at a hotel.
