[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 126080, member: 1991"] Linda - for your anniversary celebration, just put a bookmark in the away trip. We've had to do that a lot. In the meantime, do something quiet and gentle, just for you two. There have been times when husband & I took a very tranquil and informal approach - I remember my birthday a few weeks after easy child was born, we had planned to go out to a fireworks display at the local school but I was too tired. So he ordered Chinese takeaway and we sat on cushions on the floor, in the dark and in our pyjamas, eating Chinese and watching the fireworks through the window, those we could see over the tops of the trees. It was so peaceful, we had a few minutes while the baby slept. When she woke it was easy for me to feed her (I was breastfeeding) while we continued our moonlight indoor picnic in front of the picture window. After our 15th anniversary, husband's parents minded the kids and we had a weekend in the city in a motel, finding last-minute tickets to various live shows (it was pot-luck, but an adventure). We saw "Rocky Horror Show" live in the theatre next door; it starred Gina Riley as Janet. She is in the US at the moment, working as Executive Producer n a US version of "Kath and Kim", an Aussie sit-com. She was staying in our hotel, we went up to our floor in the same lift as her. We've managed something like that only twice in our married life, but each time it was fun. Most of the time we just arrange a special dinner together, just for us, on the night itself. Usually it's at home, sometimes all we can do is arrange to sit together with our door shut while kids pound on the other side, totally unregarded for a time, while we just talk. Or we've gone for a walk late at night after the kids are in bed. As long as we get some "us" time, the trip or special celebration takes place when it fits into our schedule better. Enjoy your anniversary however it happens. Maybe when you're at Mayo you can have an evening just for yourselves. Marg [/QUOTE]
