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.
