bran and I celebrated our 6th anniversary on Thursday, November 3rd. unfortunately, both of us had to work that day...which means that we get to see each other for just a little over an hour total before I'm unconscious for the night. yes, sad face I know.
but we had a plan. or rather we had a "plan A". we decided that I would try to keep the kids awake until he was pau hana so we could have a mini-celebration of what we now call a "family birthday" since that really is what an anniversary is...the birth date of our family - right?
so as the night went on, Brandon was still at night show, and nahe was getting fussy. despite my attempts to keep her from falling asleep, I know full well that you can't stop a tired baby from knocking out without some serious repercussions. so off to bed the little princess went, which means we had to move on to plan B.
brandon called me when he got offstage to check if the kids were still awake. after letting him know that nahe fell asleep, we were both hesitant to do anything outside of the house. honestly, i think that we were all tired and didn't want to leave one of our babies behind. luckily - mom to the rescue! she came to see baby and offered to listen to the baby monitor while brandon, ahonui and myself celebrated with plan B.
plan B (which was pretty much plan A minus the baby girl) included a quick trip to angel's ice cream with all of us sharing a banana split type creation. between bites, ahonui took the above pic of his parents who are still very much in love. and although nahe wasn't with us that night, i'm quite sure we consumed enough yumminess to make up for the lack of our toddler.
and so after many failed attempts at "plan As" through these past 6 years, i'm still looking forward to spending forever with my eternal companion. here's to many more "family birthdays"!
