Spoiled

In what seems to be fortuitous timing, Brad is on spring break this week. When we realized the break would hit right after we had a baby, we were a little bummed because that meant we couldn't go anywhere. However, it has been SO nice to have Brad around! It's made this transition to parenting 2 children so much easier. I had about 2 and 1/2 days between when my mom left (I haven't given my dad and her a shout out - they were SO helpful when they were here!!! BIG thanks to them!) and Brad finished his final where I was doing it all on my own. Let's just say those days made me wonder if I will ever master mothering 2 at a time.

Last night as a gift to me, Brad spoiled me with one of the most gourmet meals of my life. He was so cute about it! He told me to take Annie outside (yay for getting out of the house and for good weather!) and he would stay inside with James and "gourmet it up". He picked out a couple of recipes from our Williams Sonoma Savoring France and Savoring Mexico cookbooks and went to town. He made Cornish game hens with an apricot balsamic glaze, stuffed with apricots, figs, and baguette. It was to die for - both in presentation and taste!. He made a side of baked sweet potatoes topped with a brown sugar/orange/cinnamon/allspice glaze. So good! It really was amazing and so thoughtful of him to do that for me!

I'm so happy to be married to my best friend. Even though we didn't go anywhere exotic, we have so much fun just being together. As I was thinking through my day last night, I realized my favorite parts were our walk together, eating dinner together, and watching a funny movie together. He makes my life so great!

P. S. Tonight he's made me an orange chocolate fondant!
