Anniversary and Back To Work

On July 4th we celebrated our second wedding anniversary. :-) We celebrated by getting a replica of our wedding cake (we did this last year as well), visiting family and friends, and then ending the evening with a nice romantic dinner at our favorite restaurant. It was a happy but very busy day! There are some advantages to having your anniversary on a major holiday- you always have it off, everyone you love has it off, and there are lots of opportunities for celebration. There are some downsides to it as well... everyone you know has it off and they all want a little piece of the celebration! By the end of the weekend we were exhausted and if I don't see another wedding cake until next July 4th that will be just fine! :-) It was a great day though and DH and I were able to remember our wedding day, and all the reasons we are together still. It was strengthened this year thinking about all we've come through and done togehter, and looking ahead to our Goober arriving in 4 1/2 months. Oh yeah- and our wedding anniversary was exactly halfway through our pregnancy. How's that for celebration?!

Now I am back to work though. I can't complain, I make a ton of money in a really short amount of time. I am just beyond burnt out and was needing a vacation. Only 3 more weeks of summer school though and I am taking the first two weeks in August for just me. Usually DH will take a week off but not this year, he's saving up for the fall when I'll need him around. I appreciate that but I do wish we could have one last hurrah of just the two of us this summer. Working on making a long weekend of something.... maybe NYC or Boston. He wants to go to D.C. but by the time we get down there after work on a Friday it would be 2am and then to leave first thing Sunday morning.... sounds like a vacation in the car... and my car is not made for vacationing in! I am sure we will work it out. I am using my hotwire magic to see what deals pop up over the next few weekends.

Anyway, long story short, things have been insanely busy, we celebrated our anniversary, I am back to work, looking for a weekend get away, and am commiting myself to catching up on reading all the blogs I've missed over the last couple of weeks since I have Friday off. Hope all is well with you!
