This weekend Brian and I were able to go to Bay City, Michigan completely and utterly ALONE. This is a remarkable thing because neither of us can remember the last time we were alone for more than a few hours...... I think it was just after Nora turned one. So... it's been awhile. We traded with our neighbors a few weeks ago during spring break and we took their three kids in while they went on an overnight trip. We were planning on going during spring break as well, but Brian and Sophie ended up being sick. So we ended up going this weekend - and it was wonderful. It was so amazing to have a peaceful car ride together and carry on a conversation without being interrupted and listen to something other than kid songs or stories on cd! I learned a lot about what Brian is doing in school right now and his goals for the coming months. Which is very nice because it bothers me sometimes that he is up at the school every day working on stuff that I don't know anything about, with people that I don't know anything about! So now I know. Okay, I may have already forgot. But I did know! We had a fun time shopping for a few things, going out to dinner, relaxing & swimming at the hotel and playing card games. We both came home feeling refreshed and more in tune with each other.
Of course, we love doing this...
this....
this...
and this....
But for 24 hours, it was so nice to just be this....

Lexie, I totally understand what you feel about your husband doing so much and feeling so clueless, (and then forgetting later!) that made me laugh. I think I'm much like you. Including impulsive/spontaneous... which is why I don't have blog right now... anyway, cute post!
