Anniversary plans

My husband and I were planning on taking a weekend trip this past weekend for our anniversary but decided that we would save our money and stay home. He found out on Friday that he will not be getting a cost of living raise this year... surprise.. I had already prepared myself that he would not, so it was not a big surprise. We had already decided to stay home before we found out it.
Instead of going out, my sister-in-law kept our kids on Friday night and my husband and I grilled steaks and stayed home and watched a movie. It was very relaxing and I enjoyed the time alone with him. Several times I thought I heard the kids in the back of the house! It was so strange without them! It is very rare that they are away from us so it was kind of shocking for us all.
Thanks Tonka for taking care of my babies!!! Your the best!
