A year ago I was surprised by a spontaneous stay at our favourite B&B. We had gotten the kids all away for the weekend, and were able to spend it together. WE both had work off, so while we were deciding what to do we passed the castle and made up our mind. we ordered our meals in, and ate junk food all weekend. Watched several of our favourite movies, and enjoyed a nice bathtub we both fit in... with bubbles. We hadn't packed anything and so we went to the nearby shopping center and purchased comfy clothes, for our brief outings, and toothbrushes. When we returned we decided to do something fun, just us still... so we went to Boondocks. There were several families there with their kids, and we felt a little guilty not having ours... now I am grateful for that time spend just us. We had a blast, were given happy birthday bracelets for our anniversary (I buried him with his). I carry the leftover tokens for the batting cage in my wallet. I am so glad we got new phones that day, I have a few pictures of him from that because of it...
This year for my anniversary, the kids knew it would be a tough one for me, so my sweet daughter planned and organized some wonderful surprises for me. Made my favourite dinner, gave me a basket with my favourite treats, had friends write me notes that they were thinking of me. It was hard to not have him there to celebrate... our first one not together... but I was grateful for my sweet kids that helped me through it.
