Date: Thursday
August 13, 2015 (Our 10th Wedding Anniversary)
Location at the
beginning of the day: Rock Cut State Park
Distance to drive:
0
Hours to drive: 0
Destination: the
outhouse L
Planned activities:
play at the playground and go to the beach (two of us were not feeling great so
we ended up showering again instead of going to the beach)
Quote of the day:
“I have to go to the bathroom!” My poor
little one.
Life has taught me a lesson in gratitude today. While visiting random public restrooms with
my little one, I should have been grateful for flushing toilets and running
water. This morning the little one has
woken up with a nasty case of diarrhea and at Rock Cut the only bathroom within
walking distance is an outhouse. We have
a bathroom in the trailer, but the rule is ‘pee only’.
Today marks ten years that Chad and I have been
married. Throughout the day we reflected
upon what we would have been doing ten years earlier. Behind the trailer there
was a patch of grass that quickly became the dance floor for the girls’ dance
party (consisting mostly of ‘Royals’ by Lorde, ‘Radioactive’ by Imagine Dragon
and ‘Shut up and Dance’ by Walk the Moon).
On occasion the big one would suggest that they do the wedding dance
(They mean dance the way they saw Auntie Sue and Uncle Darren dance at their
wedding. The girls constantly wanted
Auntie Sue to play the wedding song in the weeks leading up to the wedding.). We had to explain that the type of dancing
you do, depends on the kind of music that is playing. I thought it was fitting that I play our
wedding song and that Chad and I show the girls how it is done. We spend part of the song dancing just the
two of us and part of the song having a four person family dance. That moment was the best part of my day and
everything that I would have wanted on my tenth anniversary.
