Last night, my parents graciously offered to come to our house to babysit the kids so that Nick and I could enjoy an evening out. It was heaven! We went out to dinner and to a movie. We have not been out very often since Isabella was born. In fact, we were discussing last night that the last time we went out without children was for Nick's company Christmas party in 2006. She was only 5 months old.
It was so nice to have a conversation without any interruptions. At one point, Nick said he could not believe we were alone. We love our children very much, but a year and a half is way too long. The two little kids are a lot to handle, so we decided that Taylor and Shea were not ready to watch both kids at the same time. I have a couple of new babysitter prospects who live very close to us, and I intend on taking advantage of them as soon as Nicholas and Isabella are a little easier to handle.
About Me
- Sandy
- My name is Sandy. I married my husband Nick in July of 2002, and we have four children. Taylor was born in 1994; Shea was born in 1996; Isabella was born in 2006 and Nicholas arrived in February of 2008. Taylor and Shea are my children from my first marriage. After my divorce, I went back to school full time to get a 2 year degree, and waited tables at night. Nick was the manager of the restaurant at the time. We developed a friendship, which turned into much more after both of us had moved on to other careers. I had graduated from school and accepted a job in the legal department at a company that handled corporate collections. I told Nick that I would not consider marriage until I was secure in my job, and had purchased my own house. Shortly after those events, Nick and I were married. Since the birth of Isabella, I have become a stay at home mom, and absolutely love it. We have a blended family, and 2 sets of kids in completely different stages of their lives; but somehow, the six of us have become a solid, happy family.
