Longtime

We don't have many date nights.

And we certainly don't have many getaways.

None, in fact.

We keep Rio close.

Just in case.

We can't stand to be too far away.

And 10 minutes is really far in an emergency.

So when we were invited to a company banquet

on the other coast -

a 3 hour drive across the state -

we didn't know what to do.

Luckily, my mother is an angel

and always up for an adventure.

She traveled with us and explored the beaches and scenery

with Rio

while we had a night out.

The banquet was lovely 

the company casino was fun

(they gave us each $1000 in play money.)

I told Mark,

"You're here and you're mine

I haven't seen you in a long time."

Date night

and keeping our baby girl close by =

sweet perfection.
