Anniverary & Holiday Weekend

Thursday was our 4 year anniversary. Hugh came over to babysit Murdoch so we were able to go out to dinner. We went to Sibling Rivalry in the South End. Hugh and Karen gave us a gift card so we used that for our meal (thank you Hugh and Karen!). The traffic was horrible getting there - you think I would have thought about the fact that it was the day before 4th of July before I started driving! We left early to have a drink before dinner and ended up getting there right on time. No matter. The dinner was awesome - I had soft shelled crabs and Andy had lamb and tenderloin. I had two drinks which were awesome! And we had a nice molten lava cake. Once you had a kid it is so nice to get out and enjoy yourself without looking at your watch thinking, when did he last eat, how much time do we have until he needs to eat again or nap or is he close to a nap so he is going to have a melt down!? It was rough the next morning because the Man woke up a little before 5 but it was worth it to get out of the house and have a conversation that didn't involve Murdoch.

The rest of the weekend was nice - I loved that it was a 3-day weekend! Work has been very busy, and is only going to get worse so any little reward like a 3-day weekend is great right now! Most of the weekend was spent working on the house - Andy installed more trim, ran most of the speaker wire in the TV room which means that we should gett insulation and then walls relatively soon, and we started using the master bath! We went to Hugh & Karen's for a BBQ on Saturday which was nice - it forced us to get out of the house and be social.

I have a feeling this week is going to be a long one - work wise so I will try to keep the posts up while sucking down caffeine to get through the day. Enjoy the week!
