It has been 5 years

August 14, 2004 was our wedding day. It has now been five years since Cam and I got married. Sometimes it feels like five weeks, sometimes it feels like 25 years but we are still together.

He out did himself this year and we had a great night out. Just the two of us. I didn't think we were going to be able to leave the kids anywhere because Dylan had a fever for 2 days but he was miraculously cured when he woke up Friday morning. We dropped them off at Grandma's house with a happy meal for the evening. Who could be upset when mom and dad leave you with a happy meal right?

We started our night at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Cam had it pre arranged with the owner so we didn't have to wait the hour long wait... that was awesome. When we got to our table they had it nicely set with beautiful flowers. Total surprise there. By the time dinner was over I could hardly walk out of the place. Never mind the fact that I was wearing heels and carrying a huge GLASS bouquet of flowers. I am a "1 small margarita please" feeling a little funny kinda gal, but nooo I was conned. We both ordered medium margaritas and mine was made "special" for me but I had to drink both of them. Nice date I had huh. I made it wobbling out with my burning red face... I'm sure I was still looking hot, literally.


We had to take a short break after that. I was determined not to break my ankle while out without children. You only get so many child free breaks you know and we were determined to make the best of it. We drove around for a little while and then decided to go bowling. I got my butt handed to me on the bowling game but I blame it on that heavy 10 lb bowling ball I was using :0) Why are things so much heavier when you have had some drinks?? We finished our game in like 30 mins. Why we went so fast I don't know. I guess we are just used to bowling with the kids and it takes a good hour and a half with them for some reason.

After bowling we headed over to the sports bar. We ended up meeting up with my best friend growing up. Me and her have been trying to get together forever but something always comes up. We had a few drinks, caught up on times, and laughed at the stupid stuff we did together as kids. Oh yeah Cam and a couple of her guy friends were there too. They thought we were crazy and cracked a few jokes on us.


This was the first time Cam and I had ever gone out for drinks together. It was great and I can't wait to do it again. Maybe next year we can do it again. Maybe we can even get a picture of just the two of us... oops.
