This time though, we didn't think it would be possible for me to go because we have two babies and it would probably be harder work then it would be worth. Toby braught up the idea of maybe getting some friends to watch the kid's over night so we could have a little time together alone. As much as I really wanted to go I wasnt sure that I fealt comfortable putting friends who already have their own kid's, out like that. But because it really has been so long since Toby and I have had alone time and because our 5 year anniversary is coming up and we didnt think we would have another chance to get away, I called two of my friends just to see what they thought about the whole thing.
All I have to say is I have the best friends in the whole world. Misty and Loralee were seriously so awesome when I called them. Misty was right away excited about having Brooklyn over for a little sleep over. And Loralee pretty much made me make the decision to go even when I told her I still wasn't sure. She said "Tami, your going and I don't want to hear another thing about it. The decision is already made, get Toby on the phone...." What can I say my friends really are the greatest and it really shows me how much they love me when they support me like they do.
I know I am kind of a baby but it really is hard for me to ask people for help. It might be because I havent ever had family around to help it's always just been Toby and I. So I am so used to doing everything with just him.
So the day I was supposed to leave I almost backed out and I was actually in the middle of texting Misty to tell her not to worry about it when I suddenly got a text from her saying, "Dylen is so excited to have Brooklyn sleep over." I really am so blessed to have such wonderful friends. They really are my family away from home. Thanks Mist and Loralee I love you guys!!
Toby and I had such an awesome time together. We went to a Giants baseball game that night and it was so nice just to be able to really enjoy each other without any distractions. My husband really is so dang cute and he makes me laugh so much! I love being able to do things together that we both really enjoy. I really just didnt want the night to end. After the game Toby got us a limo to take back to the hotel. I was so excited cuz I have never been in a limo before. It is kind of funny to watch people look at you while you drive by.
The next day Toby had to work pretty much the whole time but I was in heaven. The hotel is located right in the middle of union square right where all the incredible shopping is. Seriously, it's any girl's heaven right there. I also was able to get a pedicure and have lunch at a thai place that is actually in the hotel we stayed at.
It was a lot of fun but I was very anxious to get home to releave my friends from my children. Even though they are the sweetest babies I know it's always different when it isn't your own kid, Ya know?? (Brooklyn can be a little fiesty sometimes.) Later on that night I was putting Brooklyn to bed and she was asking for Max and Dylen. I think she really wanted them there to have another sleep over. She had such a good time and it is so nice that she feels so comfortable with Misty and her family.
The view from outside our hotel room window. We were on the 17th floor with huge windows all around. It was gorgeous but a little scary. We had an earthquake that night but it was small and we barely noticed.

In the limo on the way back to the hotel. It was a first for me and it was a lot of fun.
Thanks babe for hanging out with me for the night. I love your guts!!!
