for valentine’s day, aaron (kind of)
surprised me with a night at the lodge. i say "kind of" because aaron
and i can never keep secrets from each other and are the worst at surprises in
the whole world, so naturally the surprise didn't last all the way until
valentine’s day...
we had overlapping family members to
babysit for a while on wednesday evening, so aaron and i went out for
chinese food and hung out alone for a while. then we picked up our babies and
spent the night and morning at the lodge before i had to go to school for an
exam. we love spending time there, its cozy and old and is just a little mini
vacation even though it's now only about 15 minutes away from where we live;)
we've been going there for years and it holds lots and lots of memories for us,
from dating to marriage to one baby to two. one night was not enough time away for me, but
it was so nice to have a chance to connect with aaron and spend time in the
game room with roman (one of our favorite things to do!). it was also fun to
see my two boys running ahead of me down the halls. i can remember being at the
lodge when it was just our little family of 3 and dreaming of having two little
ones and now that dream is a sweet and precious reality in my life.
i love getting away, and am cringing at the thought that we
probably won't go anywhere for our spring break/seven year wedding anniversary this
year. it would be fun, but it would be a better idea for us to put that money
away for bigger and better adventures that we are hoping to put into the works
soon!
