Mike and I celebrated nine years of marriage last week with a long weekend in Charleston, SC. We had a wonderful weekend of fine food, relaxing strolls and successful shopping!
It was oh so relaxing.
Mike kept saying "I wish Walker was here."
I kept saying, "Shut up and stop reminding me."
We both missed our little guy a lot. I had to keep reminding him that a happy marriage makes for a happy child.
We actually decided this weekend that we are quite boring people (as we blew off our Saturday evening dinner reservations to instead grab burgers, hang out in our hotel room and watch football/read).
I'm not going to bore you with all the details but the food was amazing. Let's just say Mike ate friend chicken livers twice while we were there. I had shrimp and grits, a B.L.F.G.T. (bacon, lettuce, fried green tomato) sandwich, sushi, coconut pie...
And by the time we left, the lady at the prailine counter knew Mike's face (enough that Saturday night, when he went to buy two for our dessert, she threw in four extra).
And we just kept saying all weekend how nice everyone in the south is and how happy we are that we are southern.

Happy Anniversary to you guys! Our ninth is Wednesday as well and we celebrated this weekend. Isn't it funny how you so want a night out alone, but then all you do is think about the kid? Gotta love it.
ReplyDeleteI just started following not long ago and now am JEALOUS after reading this post! ; ) I love and miss Charleston so much! I lived there for 6 years before having to move overseas and I hope to call it home in the future! That shop has the BEST pralines of all! Oh so yummy! Oh and what I would do for some shrimp and grits or a fried green tomato BLT! I am glad you and your husband enjoyed Charleston! And yes, I am glad I am a southerner even if I am miles and miles away from the south!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
Happy anniversary! And, you are so right, the best gift you can give your child is a happy, loving marriage. I've been wanting to visit Charleston for a long time. It's definitely on my list.
