Before heading out we had C take a picture to show that we were actually making it out for a date night! We were laughing so hard because I have two little ones pulling on my dress.
On our way Eric pulled out a CD of special songs he made for me. Seriously how sweet is that!! We had so much fun listening to all of our songs.
We had a great dinner out at Twisted Fork.
We ended our date night out at Target :) We kept laughing that our romantic night ended with us walking around Target picking up diapers, a new ice pack for the twins, materials for school projects, and groceries. The life of parents with 5 kids.
This morning the twins are running around the house, L is dribbling the soccer ball down the hallway, J is off at a friends house, C is still sleeping, and Eric is off playing in a soccer game. I am just sitting here enjoying a nice cup of coffee and smiling. I feel so blessed for the past 17 years. I am so thankful for the doors that opened to bring us up to NC. I am so thankful for Eric and the amazing husband and father he is for our family. I am thankful for our 5 kids, our sweet friends, church, and family. I am so thankful for all that we have been through the past 17 years that have brought us to the point where we are now. It has not always been easy. With all the joy we have shared we have also had our heartbreak and tears. We have lost grandparents, nieces, an uncle, friends, miscarried a child, we are watching our parents fight cancer. I am so thankful that I have Eric beside me through it all.
Happy Anniversary to my love, my best friend!!
