Our First Date July 13, 2007

It happened. David and I went on a date, WITHOUT Hannah. I had serious anxiety over this, but we finally decided that she would be fine in the care of someone else. It was so nice to go out as a couple, like we were regular people. I live my life like a kangaroo, Hannah is always on my person, so this was a HUGE leap for me.

We ate at the Gate House on Saba. This is the nicest restaurant on Saba. The chef makes amazing food. So amazing, his restaurant has been featured in Food and Wine Magazine. We met some good friend there, and had a fantastic time. We chatted the night away (not hard to do since I am a chatter and David can certainly hold his own), ate good food, and relaxed without our little people. The best part of all, it was free for us! Gift Cards come in handy.

I kind of felt guilty though. I didn’t think about Hannah. Well, maybe once. Maybe it was because I knew she was sleeping. Or maybe, just maybe, I realized there are other competent people out there that can care for her. It was so nice to go out as a couple, like we had for the previous ten years. Hannah is almost one. I guess our couple date was long overdue.

Anticipating the Tenth Anniversary July 13, 2007

David and I will be celebrating our tenth anniversary this Tuesday, July 17, 2007. As we were discussing what we would buy for each other (in another life, like one where we had money to throw around. Not our current life where we live as poor medical students). He said, “I have the BEST gift in mind for you!” Anticipating what he might thinking, I thought he must be thinking about a HUGE three carat diamond. That most certainly would do the trick. What girl wouldn’t want one of those? Then came the answer, with MUCH enthusiasm I might add. “A PIMPED OUT LAPTOP!!!” To my surprise, I was VERY excited. The thought of getting a brand spankin new pimped out laptop was 10 times more appealing than a three carat rock. Something is definitely wrong with me.

David then goes on to say, “What do most people do for big anniversaries?”

“They go on vacation, like to the Caribbean.”

“Exactly! I totally came through for you! I didn’t take you on a measly two week vacation to the Caribbean, I MOVED you here for two whole years!”

Gotta hand it to David. He is always looking at the positive side.
