All new moms and dads should definitely get away for a night or two. We took the opportunity in mid November (I'm a little behind in posting) while my parents babysat Annaliese, or rather got to have a sleepover party weekend! The Thomases and Ji Hae also helped out watching her, so we are very blessed to have family and friends who would bless us like in this way and apparently they enjoyed it!
The weekend so wonderful to reconnect, invest in our marriage and soak up the time together while our daughter was in such good care. We wrote letters before we left about what we love about one another and what we will individually work on in our marriage (not a laundry list of what the other person should work on) and read them at dinner on Saturday. This verbal affirmation was a highlight for me. Napa Valley was beautiful, the wine was exquisite, and the ambiance was memorable. Truly, I don't have words to express just how thankful I am for my wonderful husband and how much he shows me that he loves and adores me.
