Happy Anniversary!

Saturday, Braxton and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary! My parents babysat for us and we went out on our first official date since we had the babies. Actually, it had been quite a while since we had been out on a date because I didn't feel like going "out" for much of my pregnancy. Anyway, we have been out together, alone, without the babies, but it has always been for a reason: our ten year high school reunion, a wedding, a work function, etc. But, this was our first date where it was just us. It was great! It was so nice to sit down and have a meal together (that I didn't have to cook or clean up!) and have a real conversation. We went to the Chop House (Vintage Year) for dinner. Both of our meals were incredible! I had the breaded trout with a lemon caper sauce over an orzo primavera with broccolini. Braxton had the bone-in ribeye (which was humongous) with white truffle Mac and Cheese and broccolini. His was delicious as well! My fork kept finding its way over to his mac and cheese. After dinner, we went and had a drink at the Pine Bar because it was right in the middle of the babies' bedtime routine and we didn't want to interrupt/be responsible for that on our night off. We had a great time!

Braxton and I met in high school at Trinity at a new student orientation in 9th grade. We started dating two years later and have been together ever since. I am so much better for knowing Braxton. He encourages me, leads me, and loves me unconditionally. I am a better person because of him.
