For our anniversary we did a swap with the Sawayas. They watched our kids at their house, fed them dinner, then Laura drove them to our home and put them to bed! AMAZING!
We took Skye with us and headed to PF Chang's in Detroit. That's where we ate on our Honeymoon and we have gone there for many of our anniversaries. Tradition! Skye slept the entire dinner! What an angel sweetie! The food was delicious and we even splurged and got dessert (we are staying away from sugar, flour, dairy, soda, etc for this year).
Jake and I had so much fun! It was wonderful to just hang out and enjoy each other. We talked about all sorts of things: the past 9 years, the next 9 years, dream vacations, isothermal reactions, ATP transports in cells, all our goals, fun ideas for family activities, home projects, .... all those things that we don't have enough time to talk about during the normal grind of the week.
After dinner we went to NAIAS: North American International Auto Show. If you are interested in cars, then you really should come visit us during NAIAS some time. It's so cool! We saw lots of fun things including a life size Lego Batmobile. I noticed that the GM building downtown had the bat signal projected on it! haha! We had fun looking at all the manufacturers new lines. We even found a little corner for me to feed Skye. She was a delight! She just loved looking at everything. She sat quietly in her stroller and played with her toys. With her chunky cheeks and sparkling headband she got lots of attention from other people at the show.
In the Ford display they had this huge screen. Every 5 min or so they would have a live clip where their TV crew would show off a design feature of a different Ford car. We happened to be close to the camera crew when they were getting ready to start filming. I dared Jake to walk in the background while I video taped the big screen. See if you can spot him walking in the background:
A little while later we noticed they were filming where we were standing again, so I sent Jake over to walk in the background again. I didn't even need to convince him this time haha! We thought we were so funny! I promise that we're responsible adults in real life! See if you can find him on this clip too:
At one point we went and looked at some Formula race cars. We had a question about the suspension design. The engineer came over and we asked our question. He started directing his answer to Jake (which happens, I'm used to it), Jake was like "actually my wife's the racer, this is her question." So he started talking shop with me. But the best was when he turned to Jake and started explaining what we were talking about in simple terms. haha! Like Jake was the trophy husband, the arm candy! hahahahaha! The roles were reversed!
So glad to be married to Jake! Best decision I've ever made! I'm so grateful for eternal families and that I get to be with him forever! Yay for anniversaries!
