Two Years Past....A Lifetime Ahead

Yesterday Devin and I celebrated our two year anniversary! Last year we had a 6 week old so even though we were at my parents' and had big plans to go to a Brazilian Steakhouse we ended up just staying in for the night and eating pizza. This year we had no false illusions of grand dinner dates and instead just planned to do dinner at home. However even though Devin is usually not one to give presents, or buy cards, or plan surprises he showed up at my work mid-morning with all kinds of wonderful goodies.

When he showed up in the surgery room, baby in one arm and flowers in the other, my very first question was:

"How did you get up here?!"

Because I work on a secure floor, and I am obviously very welcoming.

But it was such a wonderful and completely unexpected surprise that it absolutely made my entire day. I made out with some cupcakes, cookies, a new picture frame, flowers, a bag of M&Ms, and a beautiful card that Devin said he picked out because it reminded him of our wedding (how freaking adorable).

After the little family left I got back to work and spent the remainder of the day finishing up surgeries. Towards the end of the day I got a call from Devin saying him and Monkey were at the park near by building so I hurried over to meet them for a little afternoon hang out and accompanied them to the library where Rosie ran around shrieking, stealing CDs, looking at books, and wiggling her way out of our arms so she could run around some more (intense wiggling pictured below).

I love our library because it has a specific section just for board books, so Rosie has a ton of books that are just perfect for her age range. However yesterday a couple was sitting in that exact area having an argument about their relationship and I felt really awkward interrupting an emotional scene to ask Rosie if she wanted the hippo book or the puppy book so we had to pick what we wanted pretty quickly and get out of dodge.

Once  I got home from work we started our normal nighttime routine of dinner and playtime except dinner was a little more fabulous than usual. Devin made lobster ravioli, cranberry salad, roasted garlic and cheese potatoes, and garlic bread and I happily ate everything in sight. So freaking delicious. Oh and since it was a special occasion we let Rosie try her first bite of chocolate. 

She was a total fan.

Overall it was a simple and perfect anniversary, and as Devin reminded me the most important thing is that we spend it together. The rest is just kind of optional. 

Oh and on a side note even though the Cubs are probably going to win the world series, Rosie knows deep down which Chicago team she roots for.

 Right now one of her favorite thing to do is put this hat on her own head, and then my head, and then back on her own head. And I don't mind one bit! #WhiteSox4Life
