6 years of awesome

Today is mine and Ian's 6 year anniversary! We celebrated yesterday by dropping the kids off with Grandma and Grandpa and heading up to Oxford for the afternoon/evening. When we got there we walked around for a good 2 hours just talking and reminiscing. We walked through Miami's campus and through some of the buildings that were open including Bachelor hall (the Math/Stat building). That was fun for me because I especially have fond memories there where I had most of my classes and spent time studying with friends. Here we are at the student center resting for a bit about midway through our walk:
As a comical side note I forgot to bring the car adapter for my pump (you know the kind that pumps milk for babies...) but I had the plug in adapter, so we drove to one of our friend's houses who happens to be a college guy and asked if I could pump at his house. Probably the strangest place I have ever or will ever pump is a college guy's bedroom. Anyway, after chatting with him we went to dinner at our favorite restaurant uptown, Fiesta Charra! I still have Fiesta Charra's number in my cell phone if that tells you anything about my longstanding dedication to mexican food.

I got a new Miami tshirt while we were there and also a little tshirt that all the kids will eventually wear. I thought of getting the alumni tshirt, but that seems a little oldish? We finished off the evening with a couple hours at Kofenya where I had some amazing peach iced tea, and spent some time reading. I feel like that sounds a little lame, but we both thoroughly enjoyed that time of quiet solitude. It doesn't happen much with three kids! But now I miss them so I will be headed to grandma's soon to see them! As I was retrieving the above picture from my cell phone I came across this little gem:
That is Noah hiding in case you are wondering:) I just want to reach through that picture and squeeze him! But in conclusion on this anniversary post, we had a wonderful time. Oxford is still as beautiful as ever and we really capitalized on the child free time to talk and laugh and realize that we love each other more now than we ever have!
