4 Years and Counting

Sorry, no pictures for this post. The 7th was my and Ster's 4 year wedding anniversary. For those of you who don't know, the 4th anniversary is the fruit and flowers anniversary (traditionally) or the appliance anniversary (modernly). Sterling thinks this is a way to justify his vitamix. I say bull honkey.
But my honey did plan a fun little evening for us. He even managed to keep it a surprise! For some reason that is hard to do between the two of us. I ask too many questions and Sterling has a hard time caring. Anyway. We enlisted Grandma and Grandpa to babysit the kidos and went out to eat at my favorite place, The Olive Garden. Yay! We splurged and got our own entrees (rather than splitting one). I even tried something new. Go Kierstin.
After dinner Sterling kinda drove all around. I thought he was trying to confuse me but I later found out he had to revert to plan B for the location for the next part of the date. He pulled up to this dead end road in the middle of nowhere and said we were going to make out. I laughed and said yeah right. Then he went to the trunk and started tossing pillows and blankets into the backseat (keep it clean people) along with some sodas, chips, a laptop, and a DVD. The funniest part was this little contraption he made to hold the laptop, I'll try to explain it. It is a 2x4 with 4 notches cut into it (two on one end and two on the other on alternate sides of the board) made to fit around the metal posts of the headrests. Does that make sense? If not never mind, it's not that important it just made me laugh. Silly boy. Creative little cat.
So we snuggled and watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button until the cops showed up. No I'm not joking. Someone called it in. Jerks. But the cop didn't care and said we were fine.
That was our little date. Sterling said it was fun to see me relaxed for once. I guess I need to work on being a fun mom instead of a stressed mom. But I sure did have fun with my husband. 4 years down, many more to come!
