We had been MARRIED FOR ONE DAY. We celebrated our five year anniversary yesterday. July 16th. Yes, you heard right, FIVE YEARS. We're that old (or we were that young when we got married)=) An old, boring married couple from yesterday years. And we wouldn't change it for the world.=) We went out to celebrate last night. Babysitters are a fabulous creation. It was a joyous thing to be out past 8pm. We had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed a long walk in central park.
Speaking of Central Park, it's also Manhattan's BEACH. Bikini's, coolers, bring it all!!
Although Times Square is not one of my favorite places in NYC, I walked through it with Beckham- curious to see what his reaction would be to all the people and lights. He was amused.
We also went to GRAND CENTRAL STATION. Bex thought he was in heaven as he stared up at the BIGGEST AMERICAN FLAG he'd ever seen. He went NUTS!!!
Hanging out on the great lawn in Central Park. Okay... we got a little board and went nuts with the camera. For some reason, this picture of Jordan (imitating the picture I had just taken of Beckham) made me pee my pants. I had people staring I was laughing so hard... one of those moments.
This is Beckham's favorite way to roll. With ONE OF HIS LEGS up on the stroller. He really knows how to kick back and enjoy the ride.
Lots of teeth, I've lost count. We love to SWING in the park.
Things I promise to never take for granted again…
69 cent baby food jars instead of 99 cents.
COUNTERTOP SPACE!! (actually, a counter top in general.)
A dish washer, HANDS DOWN!!
Living space.
My own bedroom (we love bex but could do without sharing a room with him.)
A WASHER AND DRYER IN YOUR APARTMENT/HOUSE!!
A vehicle. I don’t care anymore that I've never had a drive way. A car is something wonderful.
Central Aidr. My oh my.
These are such SIMPLE luxuries that I’ve been taking for granted my entire life.
I love NYC. But our living arrangements this summer have humbled me. Thank you for that.
