Our 11th Anniversary

Our 11th Anniversary was November 17, 2018 this year! It landed on a Saturday and we went out for the night! We got a sitter for the kids, except Hazel, because she is a nursing baby and had to go with us! We decided to do a little shopping in Downtown Bryan, on a gift card I had carried around for a long time. Then, we thought we'd find fun drinks somewhere and do dinner and do everything on our own pace because we knew Hazel would have to nurse at least once. And, it was a fun evening!

We headed to Downtown Bryan to The Birds Nest Gifts and Antiques and spent our gift card. It was fun to carry Hazel around because she could stay awake and not have to be carried in her car seat the entire time. And, of course, we got lots of compliments on how precious she was! Then, we walked over to Downtown 202 to peek in the windows and reminisce for a moment about the night we got married and remember our reception. I still don't know how we fit everyone in there, but I know they were on top of one another! We were hoping someone would walk by to take our picture, but we made do on our own.

About the time we were done with that, we thought it was getting chilly so we decided to load up, nurse, and head back to College Station to eat dinner. But, Vic really wanted to try out Cafe Capri, one of our old "fancy restaurant" stomping grounds and it was right down the street. So, we nursed Hazel and then headed in. We may have just gotten lucky, but there was NO wait and in the past, we always remember a long wait to get into this little restaurant. We ordered our wine and calamari and just knew that Hazel would be ready for a little nap in her carseat. She had been awake for awhile and had a fully belly, but she was way more interested in our anniversary dinner date. So, we took turns holding her while we talked and drank our wine and ate our appetizer. But, by the time our actual meal arrived, Hazel started fussing. So, hilariously enough, we just did what we did at home. One person ate while the other person held Hazel and then we switched. And Vic ended up walking her until she fell asleep. Sweet baby! Then, I really wanted a fun dessert at Sweet Paris at Century Square in College Station, so we headed that way. Hazel fell asleep and then woke up again in her stroller, but we got our dessert and headed home. It was a good anniversary date and I'm still happy, thank goodness, to be married to Vic these 11 years later!
