Silence is a gift, but you don't know that till you have a 9 month old and almost 3 year old crazy boys you are running around after all day.
Grammy and Poppy came over last weekend to watch the boys for us to go on a date night afternoon together alone. We were so excited and practically wanted to run out of the house when they came in! We ventured off to Outback that was pretty much vacant and spent time looking into each others eyes, flirting, and talking about everything. I giggled as I sat in the booth remembering we had sat in that exact same booth on New Year's Eve back in high school, where we chatted about everything that we thought was important at the time. And although I always knew Ant was the one just for me, I never could have imagined where we would be in about 8 years! I never could imagined how blessed we would be. Don't get me wrong, really bad things have happened to us in our 3.5 short years of marriage, but we are TRULY blessed!
Our date was wonderful and a great refresher that we both needed, but as the hours passed by the silence became less wonderful. It was just plain AWKWARD at times to not have somebody screaming for attention, and yet after only being away for only a couple hours, we were both ready to get back to our boys. Grammy and Poppy probably wished we would have stayed out just so they could have eaten up the boys a little longer! :) Silence, as beautiful as it is, I would choose our "organized chaos" over it any day!
