Absolute Bliss

So Monday was Ben and I's 8th wedding anniversary but we were able to celebrate the entire weekend thanks to my wonderful parents. They took Kennedy, Tate, and Tia camping up at Bear lake for the weekend. Brave souls. So what was our huge plans since the kids were gone? Pretty much nothing which was everything I thought it could be and more. We bummed around, went to the drive-in, out to eat, and relaxed. I did drag Ben to two doctor appointments but this should be my last visit at a doctors for quite a long time at least it better be. I am finally feeling like my old self again minus my gallbladder of course. I forgot how easy it is to go places with just one kid and not having to raise my voice for a whole weekend was a little weird although I'm sure my parents were doing plenty of it to make up for my lack thereof. No the kids were actually pretty good surprisingly. The only big punishment was for Tate when he hit Kennedy in the face with a flyswatter for the second time. Well Ben and I decided that the 8th anniversary is the swing anniversary. We have been wanting a porch swing for quite sometime and we finally did it. I love it! It was our gift to each other so I was really surprised when Ben came home early Monday with my favorite kind of roses. He had them made for me so I know it was probably a pretty penny but I don't care cause they're gorgeous. Ben is a seriously thoughtful guy and I love that about him among many other things. So this anniversary was simple but one for the books. Here's hoping the next 8 years are just as chaotic and wonderful as the first. I love you Ben!
