7th Anniversary

This past weekend Ryan and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary! Our real anniversary is this Sunday but Ryan will be away at Young Life camp. How has it already been 7 years? It seems so fast and yet we've lived a ton of life in those years! 

It was my first time leaving little man over night. I think I did pretty well....I had a few tears when we were driving away but was okay the rest of the weekend. I'm so grateful that we have both of our parents living close to help with our kids. It makes it easier to leave your little blessings behind when you know they will be loved.

We checked into our fabulous suite at the Gaylord Texan.  We stayed here for our 1st anniversary, too, so it was fun to go back.

The view from our suit. If you've been you might remember they have a replica of the Alamo and our room was on the 8th floor directly above the Alamo.

After settling in we decide to relax and enjoy the pool. We went to their new(ish) water park area but then spent more time relaxing in the regular pool and hot tub. I hadn't been in a hot tub since in like 4 years! That's too long. 

We dined at the steak restaurant that was inside the Gaylord. It was so fancy and delicious. 

For dessert we headed over the the Glass Cactus. The patio over looks Lake Grapevine so we also enjoyed seeing some Friday night fireworks. Our table was perfect for watching the sun set.

We ended the night by going inside and dancing around with the band. They were an 80's cover band and so funny! I think we only lasted maybe 5 or 6 songs before calling it a night but for us it was perfect. Even without my children I'm just not a night owl. 

We enjoyed a relaxing morning the next day before heading to see Jurassic World, which was awesome!

Thankful for my husband who is always there by my side. It was so wonderful to leave the children and get time to ourselves. Here is to lucky year number 7! {Or was that actually this past year?} Hoping for 70 more years of life with this handsome guy!
