Fourth Year Anniversary
Topic: My Story | 8 Comments »Last week was our fourth year anniversary for my wife and I. This year it was a little different for us as we now have a little baby girl therefore there was no going away for the weekend. This time we took Joy to grandma and grandpa’s house while we went for sushi and then ice cream at Dairy Queen.
4th Year Anniversary Dinner
It felt a little strange leaving her at my parents place. It made me feel kind of old. I was, however, able to put those feelings aside really quick and enjoy a nice evening with my wife. Our date was simple and only a couple of hours but it was good to have sometime to sit and talk about absolutely nothing. No talking about work, what needs to get done or being interrupted by our baby.
This was the first time we left our daughter to go on a date. Now that she is old enough to be with grandma and grandpa for a couple of hours, I think it is time to start dating again. With the busy life of having a new born I had forgotten how good it is to just spend some one on one time with each other. I heard someone once talk about the importance that children see your relationship with your wife and that they see you need time alone.
The sushi restaurants better stock up because here is a list of some of our favorites:
- Tuna Nigri
- Salmon Nigri
- Gyoza
- Red Snapper
- Miso soup
- Yam Tempura

Congratulations you two. Breaks are essential they say. It’s nice too see you guys had yourselves a good one.
Thanks Chuck.
I’ve found that I need practice to get into dating shape. When the kids got a little older, we had nice dates out, but I had a hard time talking about anything other than the kids. Luckily, I like to practice going out on dates with my wife.
I know what your saying. The first 15 minutes of our date was about how weird it felt not to have her with us. Our girl is such a big part of our life right now it is almost hard to find other things to talk about.
We don’t have any family local to us. Leaving the baby with the grandparents involves air travel.
I haven’t gone out on a date since before the baby was born. I didn’t miss it until I read your post. This whole parenting thing… once you get used to something, BAM! Now I’m looking forward to having a night out with my wife again.
We never grew up with grandparents either but glad my daughter can grow up with both sets. Have a great night out with your wife when you get a chance.
Happy 4th anniversary! Enjoy date night while you can. We have to many young kids for date night.
No, please don’t tell me that! I guess you have to wait until the oldest ones can baby set the younger one hey?
