I came home from work today with a bouquet of lovely flowers under my arm and a cute little card with a doggie on the front in my left hand. Today was Jan and my two year wedding anniversary.

To celebrate, I took Jan out to eat at a great little Greek restaurant in the middle of Gracia while Val came over and watched DVDs in case Emily woke up. We realized that this was the first time that we had gone out for dinner alone since Emily was born! Amazing.

We had a great time just chatting about non-baby related things. To be honest, it was a little strange at first since we hadn’t gone out on a “date” in such a long time, but after some much needed dolmades, a horiatiki salata, some mousaka, and some Greek wine, we were whisked away back to our honeymoon.

So I’ve got a wife and a kid and a grownup job now. Who’d a thunk it?

We have had to take in all of the plants and flowers from our balcony because the facade of our building is being redone, so our living room now looks a makeshift jungle scene – with all pots and soil well out of the reach of curious little hands. The anniversary flowers are on the dining room table between the thoughtful cards we have received. Thank you, one and all.
