Date Night, Away Night

So one of things that's been keeping me super busy the past week has been getting ready for my first trip away from Stephen. My best friend Anne, got married in Lancaster, PA this past Saturday and it took me about two weeks to get ready for two nights away from Stephen. Even though it was tough, there wasn't much that would have kept me from being there to watch her walk down the aisle. Oh and since I was the Matron of Honor, I had some serious responsibilities that day...like giving the bride and groom a toast.

I think a lot of my friends have been wandering how I handled being away from Stephen. And I'd have to say, I passed that test with flying colors. I cried for about a minute when Bill left the house with Stephen Friday morning to take him to his Mom's house, but that was the extent of my sadness/worry. That was mostly because Stephen was in such good hands both Friday and Saturday night. Bill and his Mom held down the fort Friday night and two of Stephen's nurses from the NICU, Jess and Cindy, took care of Stephen Saturday night. And then Grandma Tish took over again Sunday until we got home. Stephen's Team did awesome!!! And it was because of them that Bill and I had a total BLAST Saturday night. It was so fun to spend a night without a worry, dancing the night away in our finest. Me in my bridesmaid gown and Bill in his tux. And let me just say, I think my husband was best look guy in the room!!!! Aside from the groom, of course! :)

Thank you guys!!! I owe you big time and hope I can return the favor some day.

Here's a picture of the gorgeous bride, two other beautiful bridesmaids, and myself.
