Can't believe we've been married 7 years already?!?! It feels like just yesterday at the same time that it feels like centuries ago! Ha... I guess when you've been in each other's life since you were teenagers, all that growing up together makes you feel that way! He's shown me how to do laundry, drive a stick shift, and just how to treat a best friend, because that's who he is: 15 years together, 7 years married, and 5 kids later he's my very best friend.
This year he showed himself up and surprised me with an anniversary extravaganza! All I was told was to dress up and be ready by 5. Hmm... dinner maybe?! Well, I happened to notice our usual babysitter was lugging quite a large bag that evening and my assumptions were correct when he slid a hotel key across the table while we were at dinner. Our FIRST night away from all 3 of them. I was shocked, as I wasn't sure if I could handle this being 'sprung' on me, but it was a beautiful evening: fancy dinner at The Hive, fun drinks at Pressroom, before returning to our room at 21c and downing a cheeseburger and fries- ha!
{Yummy dinner: he even ordered a bottle of wine for the table AND after dinner drinks- I mean, who are we!?!? HA}
{Pete proposed 8 years ago after a behind-the-scenes playtime with the penguins. It was incredible, and our family mascot will forever be the penguin. So, it was fitting that it was also the mascot of the hotel... and that there was a 4ft. on in our hotel room- ha}
And then, on our actual anniversary (which was a Monday night) I did him up right: Steak on the grill, veggies, and brownies and strawberries for dessert. The girls LOVED it... and would you believe: this was my FIRST time grilling thanks to my mom coaching me through it over FaceTime- ha!
Happy 7 Years, Babe!!
Love you more than ever... thanks for doing life with me;)!
