So here’s the deal.  Tomorrow is our 5-year anniversary.  We would like to go out to dinner someplace nice (i.e. not kid-friendly) BUT so far, we have been completely unable to secure a babysitter for two hours in the evening.

People are constantly offering to babysit for us.  Constantly.  And somehow, every time we actually NEED a babysitter, it’s always on the one night that everybody we know is out of town, in class, has previous committments, or is just unreachable.  HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN???

I remember when we got married and I thought “Five year Anniversary…that is SO FAR AWAY.  We’ll have to do something really special like go to Europe or something.”

But here we are…five years down the road…and we can’t even go to DINNER.  Much less Europe.

(pout, pout)

UPDATE:  It looks as though my parents (who were previously going to be out of town) will not be leaving until the next day, so they have volunteered to relieve us of our little bundle for a few hours tomorrow.  Yay!
