Whirlwind

What a whirlwind the last few days have been!  On Friday hubby completely surprised me with a night away at the 1840's Carrollton Inn Bed and Breakfast in Baltimore.  He secretly organized the whole thing with my sister who babysat Ethan for us and he made dinner reservations at this fancy steakhouse.  There were even candles and roses waiting for us at the suite when we got there.  It was awesome and so perfect to get away just the two of us.

Then on Monday we hired a babysitter for the first time and went to Birch and Barley for A Hop Eclipse Now, which was this amazingly delicious six course meal with hoppy Dogfish Head beer pairings.

Yum yum yum! :) Unfortunately, Ethan didn't sleep at daycare that day, so he was pretty grumpy for the babysitter.  That being said, I know having a babysitter was harder on me (and maybe the babysitter, lol) than it was on Ethan, which is comforting.

Now all the fun is over and it's just a matter of a few days before Matt leaves for two months of training.  It's going to be so hard to be without him for that long, but I'm excited that by him going to training it's the beginning of us leaving the area and starting the next chapter of our military life.  I can't wait to see what the Air Force has in store for us. :)
