With This Ring....

Seven years ago on July 12 I married my love and best friend! Some days it is hard to believe that it was seven years ago and sometimes it seems like it was longer than seven years ago! Ha Ha! We have been through a lot in the last seven years, but everything has made us stronger. I love my husband just as much as the day I said "I Do"!

Rick and I on our wedding day - July 12, 2003

Since we were traveling on our anniversary, we made reservations for the following weekend. So last night we had our night away! YAHOO!

Our nephew, Josh and his girl friend, Stacey, house sat/baby sat for us for the night. This was the first time that we left the kids alone over night. I have been away from the kids and Rick and he has left the kids and I alone, but never both of us away from them. It was huge for us! I was very excited, but a little nervous too. We left while the kids were down for a nap. And off to Boise we went. Okay okay...I know that is not very far, but for a mom leaving them for the first time overnight that might as well be 1,000 miles!

We decided that we had a little time before we could check in to the hotel so we decided to do some shopping. Rick had some things to exchange from his birthday so off to the mall we went first. Then we went to Barnes and Noble and also the Christian book store.

We checked into the Anniversary Inn in Boise about 5PM. We got to stay in the Romeo and Juliet room. WOW! It was simply beautiful!

We settled in and then got ready to head out to supper. We decided it would be fun to try something brand new to us, instead of going to our same old favorites. This was either going to be a good thing or back fire. We found a place online with high reviews called Mazzah. It is a Greek grill....and WOW!!! We loved it! We will definately be going back! It was super yummy!

Rick and I ready for a wonderful evening!

We enjoyed our evening alone very much! It was nice to relax with each other and have a conversation with our 2 two year olds trying to take all our attention. Even though it was wonderful to get away, it was great to get to see my kiddos when we got home today!
