Monday's observations: Anniversary Edition

This Monday's observations edition is inspired by our wedding anniversary, which is only on Wednesday, but Greg and I went away overnight on Saturday to celebrate.

* Going "away" when you have a 6-month old consists of driving 15 minutes to a bed and breakfast at the other end of your city.

* The new Microsoft Streets and Trips was apparently a required necessity to help us find said bed and breakfast (reminder: the bed and breakfast was in the same city we live in, and that city is not that big).

* It takes a really long time to eat a 5-course meal. So long that your bum gets sore from sitting on the same wooden chair the whole time, and so you start to find excuses to go to the bathroom just to get a break from it.

* You know your husband really loves you when he watches an episode of Oprah with you on the anniversary night, doesn't complain and then proceeds to have a really interesting discussion about the topic.

* It is important to realize that the amount of bubbles you have in a jacuzzi will quadruple when you turn the jets on.

* You remember that it feels great to laugh so hard you cry with your husband about nothing and everything.

* You realize how geeky your husband really is when he gets excited when a train storms by the bed and breakfast at 10PM (and 2AM and 6AM and 10AM) and then proceeds to give you a 20 minute lecture on how train engines work.

* Your husband really is committed to you breastfeeding when he is willing to run out to the car late at night and early in the morning to put your pumped milk in the cooler (there was no little fridge in our room).

* You can feel really full after a 2-course breakfast (who in the world has ever had a 2-course breakfast?!?!)

* Waiting 30 minutes in the car while your techie-husband plans your route home on Microsoft Streets and Trips from said bed and breakfast can be frustrating. But then you remember that your husband watched Oprah with you the night before and realize that this is payback.

* When "Tripsy" (our new name for the voice chick on Microsoft Streets and Trips) pronounces Assumption Boulevard, it sounds really funny.

*It's also fun to annoy the crap out of your husband by repeating the funny pronunciation of Assumption Boulevard over and over again.

* After 3 years of marriage, I love the crap out of my husband, his quirky geeky side and all.

I'm so glad that you two are so awesome for each other, and we get to see that, too.

Happy 3rd Anniversary, you two lovebirds!!!!
