Bye, Bye 7 year itch

Everyone says, " Oh you are in the 7 year itch of marriage." What is that even supposed to mean? Well, we made it through! And can kiss that saying goodbye!

2007                                     2015

Each year one of us plans our anniversary getaway. We make our anniversary a big deal each year. Bobby plans the odd years, I plan the even years. One of the nights we get dressed up in our wedding attire and go out to a nice dinner! I love this tradition! This year, Bobby planned a night at Pachanga (local casino) and great dinner at the steakhouse. We spent the day together, just got to Pachanga and I realized I forgot to bring my breast pump! I was so upset! We changed our dinner reservations and drove home to get it. Thankfully, it was a quick turn around (it took about 1.5 hours). We made it in time to get checked in, ready and to dinner. While checking in, the woman upgraded us to a suite! IT was on a privileged floor that you needed the key in the elevator! It was posted in the room that they charged $3500 PER NIGHT!! It was so nice!
We had a great dinner, learned a few new card games and slept in! Oh yes, and had breakfast delivered in bed! It was some much needed time with each other!

Love this picture!
My fruity, pretty drink and girly ring!
Bobby's manly, stud drink and handsome ring!
