...our date night!!! Tonight Uncle Tom and Aunt Carol watched Claire for us so we could have a date night. It's always hard to break away from the family when they are around especially since Carol lives in Chicago (she was in town on a layover). However, they love the alone time with Claire and we love getting out alone.
It was so nice to get out. We had sushi and martinis then went for pizza and beer! Yep, we ate and drank like champs! We held hands and kissed like we were newlyweds. It was great and much needed. Marriage and babies and life changing situations like moving to an entirely new state can be strenuous on a two people. Eric and I have packed alot into the 4yrs we have spent together. Every moment has been big. Moving into together, getting engaged, getting married, moving to AZ, starting new jobs, having a baby.....all big moments and some bigger than others! I think it hits us sometimes how much we have gone through in such a short time. It has not always been easy and at times down right hard. It's not that we don't love each other but we kind of lost ourselves along the way. It is easy to do really when you are wrapped up in your goals together. Moments like tonight though remind me that we are still the same ole us. Yes, we have changed but we are still the same goofy couple who enjoy each other and love each other. We just need a chance to be alone and remember that we are Kristen and Eric. Not just husband and wife...not just Mom and Dad....but individuals who have a long, ever-changing life together. We vowed

'for better or for worse' and I love knowing that is true.
