1st Date Night in Dubai

Okay, I am IN LOVE with Dubai!
I though it was pretty good, but last night, I am still gushing over.

Beautiful!
Amazing!
Breathtaking!
Extravagant!
Luxurious!
Pampered!
Exquisite!
Simply, perfection.

Okay, now let me stop talking about John and get to telling you what you really want to hear about, Dubai. Lol.

I think it was by the marina where we went. We had a friend of ours maids come watch the kids (can't wait to get our own!). Amalia of course came with us (I am still breastfeeding, and this baby refuses to eat food).
So off we go. This place was in a hotel, a very large, lavish hotel. There is a shopping area, I don't dare call it a mall. Its indoors but they make it appear as though it is outdoors and it is beautiful. Shame on me for not taking photos. I have been so lost in this new experience that I don't always pull out the camera to capture every amazing thing.

I did get a few though.

We ate at a really nice Indian restaurant. Okay, so I think this is the coolest thing. Yes it was decorated impeccably, but when we sat on a couch looking thing we realized it was suspended from the air! Amazing. Then, yes, there's more, when the food came out they came and got Amalia and disappeared with her so we could enjoy a romantic dinner together! I could get used to this!

This last picture was so sweet to me. We went somewhere else for desert and Amalia was sleeping and we looked over and saw this teeny hand. I love this girl.

Amazing night. I am loving this so far. As I'm typing this I'm skyping with Mummy Bowen. Best of all worlds.

Long Awaited

Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.

Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured. Can't wait to see the professional ones! Waiting for the go ahead It's time!! Everyone ready t...

Because Of You

Daddy, because of you I...well, exist. Because of you I know I am special because you told me every day.Because of you I made it through some really hard times, you were and are still always there for me. Because of you I always know I have a friend to listen that always has my back. Thanks for letting me watch T.V. when I wasn't allowed to, bringing me home chocolates and pepsi (which was a BIG deal back then). Thank you for everything you have done for me, and I hope you know how much I love you. Jesse, because of you I have the 2 most wonderful little boys in the world. I know we may not always see eye to eye but when it comes to our boys we can always come together and do what is best for them and I appreciate that, and I am sure when they are old enough to understand what we do for them, so will they. John, because of you the boys have a good role model. Because of you I get to show them by example what a loving, caring relationshi...
