An Evening with Chance, Rachel, Tiger and the Queen?

Having babies changes everything...no doubt! Our social life has pretty much hit the skids for the last 4-5 months due to a bumpy pregnancy and the delivery of twins. Last weekend we had plans to go to a wedding and had Grammie and Gramps coming over to keep the babies. I had already showered and fixed my hair and make-up when our A/C decides to go out. LOVELY!!!

Casey had been under some extraordinary stress at work and was still processing and working through his emotions after dealing with one of the most violent wrecks he's ever seen. We were both looking forward to an evening of fun and relaxation last week until our A/C started blowing hot air. We cancelled our plans and got the babies packed up to go to Grammie and Gramps when the A/C decided to fix itself and began blowing cool air again.

By this time the house was cool, we were both over the wedding fiasco and decided we'd stay at home with the babies and try again later for our first night out. Last night Grammie and Gramps were nice enough to offer their babysitting services to us again along with their house for the night, too! We jumped at the offer - no night time feedings and some good solid rest...oh to experience such luxury! What would the 2 of us possibly do with our free time? Run errands!

We went to Target and stocked up on baby supplies - diapers, wipes, detergent and Mylicon. Then we hit Best Buy for a new printer/scanner/copier and Casey got to play Tiger Woods on the xbox demo. The highlight of our night on the town was a stop by the hospital to visit Chance and Rachel, the proud new parents of Emilee (click here to see this cutie!). We had a nice visit with the Montgomerys and then we headed to most happenin' place on any Saturday night...Luby's! At 8 pm this joint was jumpin...well maybe not but it was good food with no wait. After Luby's the real fun began...back to Grammie and Gramps. We had a house all to ourselves, no babies, no baby monitors, no phones ringing...just me and Casey! Whats a couple all alone for the first time without kids going to do....sleep!!!

I fell asleep on the couch within minutes of arriving. Evidently I had some pretty crazy dreams. Casey told me this morning I kept asking him about England and Queen Elizabeth - what?!?!? Either way I woke up rested and renewed and couldn't wait to get home to my babies! Casey, on the other hand, woke up rested and renewed and headed to work after a wild night of pillow talk with this little hottie......
