Weekend Anniversary Getaway!

by Myra on February 10, 2012

Today, my sweet hubby and I are getting away for a very short sixth anniversary trip. Wahoo! We are leaving Ridley for the first time overnight. I will confess that under my “brave face,” I am anxious. I fully trust my parents to take good care of him, but, it’s been three years and I’ve never left him overnight before.

We are going here….

We will dine…

We will shop…

We will talk…

I am really looking forward to having more than one uninterrupted conversation with my husband.  Oh! And an uninterrupted meal? Yes, please!

I’m gonna miss my little one like nobody’s business, but under all my anxiety I’m over-the-moon to get away for just a little trip with the man who rocks my world.  Getting married around Valentine’s Day was a brilliant idea because we celebrate two things at the same time! :) I am an efficient dork. Ha!

Six years ago on Saturday, I said “I do” to my best friend and childhood sweetheart. If you haven’t read our remarkable love story, be sure to check it out.

Have a fabulous weekend, my wonderful readers!

XO

Happy anniversary, Myra! I’m very happy for you. And I’m so glad you get to go away to celebrate, just the two of you. In 27 years of marriage, Jack and I have been away by ourselves just a few times–but boy, are those times worth it! It DOES get easier as the kids get older, I promise–although then you miss the days when your kids were smaller. You do the right thing–you recognize that you’re blessed right where you are. You’re a great example!

Please try to enjoy every minute with your husband and have a very Happy Anniversary trip! Trust yourself that you’ve made safe arrangements for the little guy, and then trust the Lord with the rest.

Happy ANNIVERSARY! My husband and I just booked our 5yr Anniversary cruise….a 7 nighter! Will be leaving a 1 and 3 yr old with family. As soon as we booked it I was excited and anxious at the same time. The heart of Mothers!

Happy Anniversay♥ Have a wonderful trip. My favorite part about this post was reading “and talk…” – it’s SO important in any relationship but most definitely in a marriage! So tuck your phones away & enjoy just the two of you.

I hope y’all have a GREAT time!!

I’m hoping we can take a short getaway sometime after Benjamin weans and before this little peanut makes his/her appearance. We haven’t gone anywhere together (just the two of us) since our honeymoon. But, Benjamin is *such* a mama’s boy, I’m not sure he’d last!

WOW that looks awesome. It is good to get away and be ‘a couple’ not just a mom and dad. I am sure the little one will be fine.

Happy Anniversary and may you have many more wonderful years together. I just read your posts on how you met and thought it was such a beautiful story. I could see your story published as a beautiful fairytale novel and movie.

I guess I’m an efficient dork, too, because I got married on my birthday…. my 25th birthday. Congrats to you both!
