Our Second Anniversary

So, our weekend was even better than expected. First off, anyone who told me I will never have a weekend away once I have kids, all I have to say to you is :P. This is pretty much what I wanted to tell you when you said it, but didn't...just in case. Ben has proven once again to be a perfect angel. While it was a tad difficult making him go to bed in our room with the TV and lights on, we managed to do so fairly easily. Other than that, we were out and about all day long both weekend days enjoying the beautiful 90 degree weather. We went to this fabulous restaurant for our anniversary dinner in Portland where we got to sit outside and enjoy martinis, appetizers, dinner, dessert and cappuccino. This is the restaurant we would have gone whether we had Ben or not. He woke up just in time for us to sit and eat, but it was really delicious and wonderful.

Two years of marriage. Hard to believe it has been two years already. But, we have been busy. So instead of blabbing on and on about the nice weather, the shopping, the pool, strolling along the beach in Ogunquit, fancy dinner, lobster for lunch, and all that good stuff, I would like to show you just how busy we have been.

I ask Tom what we do now. He says get settled, enjoy life. Sounds boring, huh? So, I guess once we move in October, buy a house and find Tom another new job, we will work on getting settled. Whatever that means.

Oh yeah, and be sure to oooh and aaaah over the beautiful yellow roses in the picture at the top of my post Tom sent to me Friday at work for our anniversary! Isn't he sweet :)
