BabyMoon
Wow…I am so far behind on my blogging. But…I want to try and catch up….so let me start where I left off.
Right before Valentine’s Day…Micah told me he had planned a trip for us. It was called a BabyMoon. A BabyMoon is like a honeymoon but it happens right before the baby comes. I was so excited! Micah in his true romantic fashion wouldn’t tell me anything else about the trip, so it would be a surprise. All I knew was the dates. We would leave Monday, February 15th and come home the following day. It would be a short overnight trip, but well worth it.
Then…Saturday night before our trip…I asked Micah what we needed to pack? He said that he would go ahead and tell me where we were going and then I could decide how to pack. He revealed that we would be going to Batesville, IN to a place called Stonebridge Inn and Spa. You should check out the website http://www.stonebridgeinnandspa.com/
They actually have a package called the BabyMoon package and it included an overnight stay at the Bed & Breakfast, chocolate covered strawberries with turn down service, a 10 Jet Jacuzzi tub, a steam shower and the best part…a couple’s massage. It was awesome. Micah and I have never had a professional massage before. Micah was a little nervous, and I was super excited. We got to lay right next to each other and Micah wore his gym shorts just to be safe and we had a very relaxing hour. It was awesome! After the massage we enjoyed fresh fruit and cucumber water (Micah didn’t like the cucumber water) while looking out the window as about 6 inches of snow fell. It was beautiful. We then went to our room and relaxed until it was time for dinner. We found out that the restaurant that we had reservations at was closing due to the weather so the innkeeper quickly made us new reservations at another restaurant in town called the Sherman House. It was a German restaurant and inn. It was really delicious. Micah had a steak with a baked potato and soup and I ate the Chicken Parmagiana with the salad bar and potato cakes. The appetizer they serve is homemade biscuits with applebutter. It was yummy. I was stuffed. The jacuzzi tub was awesome and helped me relax before bed. We also enjoyed an evening of movies. We watched a really dumb romantic comedy…that I can’t remember the name of…and then we watched Hairspray….which is always a crowd-pleaser. We really enjoyed just spending quality time together talking and enjoying each others company. I have felt a bond grow between me and Micah over the last 9 months, not only because of this baby growing inside of me, but due to the many changes and challenges that have come our way in the last year. I can honestly say that I feel closer to him now than ever. I love him so much and event though the year 2009 was one of the hardest years thus far in our marriage…it has created a bond that I will always appreciate. I love you Micah! Thank you for making Valentine’s Day 2010 an unforgettable day!
