Staycation

Staycation! What! Yes! I had my first overnight out of the house without little M last week. With my mom in town, and Michelle's very helpful hand, Alex and I were able to have a 12 hour vacation. Granted, it was only for 12 hours, and the hotel was 1.5 miles away from home.... but, still! It was amazing and much needed. We've both been giving our all and working very hard to make this relationship be the best it can possibly be. You know, happy parents make happy kids. I'd say, we're definitely doing a very good job. It's been everything it needs to be, plus more. 

We spent the evening at my home, with Marlowe, eating soup and bread.... I then packed up a little bag and we headed out on the town. We went to a secret spot of ours and then met some friends for drinks and some (but not much) dancing. We stopped for late night food to go and headed back to the hotel for much needed..... SLEEP! We woke up and spent the morning to ourselves, poolside, with no worries other than making it back by noon. 

need. more. now. (or soon)
