Happy 41st Birthday to my husband!

We are having a nice mellow day at home with the family. Dinner plans are Jason’s yummy street tacos and my newest enchilada dish and of course his favorite, cupcakes.

I love growing old with him. I met my husband when he was 25 years old and we will be celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary in 2 weeks. It’s hard to believe how much time has gone by and all the wonderful things we have accomplished and the challenges we’ve overcome.  I told him today that he wasn’t a year older but a year better.

Here we are after a few months dating getting ready for Easter dinner at my sister’s house. We look so young (and skinny!) The bottom photo is of my honey today on our porch swing. Happy Birthday SweetZ.

 

 

Date night!

Our first night out alone in… geez I can’t even remember how long it’s been. I think it was my birthday last May. But tonight we have three hours alone. Not much time but alone time nonetheless so we are going to try a restaurant in town. I signed the boys up for parent’s night out at J’s preschool and they’ll have dinner, watch a movie and have ice cream. Sounds like fun for them too! 
I am looking forward to tonight. With three little boys alone time is rare. Talking without being interrupted is rare. Eating a hot meal is rare.  It’s amazing how much time I had on my hands before kids and I didn’t even realize it! 
Hope everyone has a special Valentine’s Day if you celebrate it. We always had a nice wine and candle light dinner but now I am happy just getting a box of chocolates. We don’t need a “holiday” to say I love you, you know?  It’s always there.
