Anniversary To Be a "Do-Over"

(Picture below courtesy of The Woodlands Resort website)
Ryan booked a room at The Woodlands Resort for our 5th anniversary; the "wood" anniversary.  Bags were packed for just the two of us.  The kiddos were going to spend the afternoon and evening with us and then head off with family for the rest of the night and into the next morning.  We checked in after 3 and headed straight for the pool.  Shortly after, we were walking back to our room when Charlotte told me that her tummy hurt.  Seconds later the plans that we had made began to unravel...
FIVE - The number of outfits I changed during an eight hour period while our baby suffered through her virus.
FOUR - The number of feet our 20 month old daughter's vomit would arc before it fell.
THREE - The number of hours poor Charli slept that night.
TWO - The number of times Ryan and Caden had to go back to the house for supplies, clothes, a bucket... you get the picture.
ONE - The number of dolls that we threw away and will have to replace.  Enough said.

Sadly for our Charli, this all happened at a hotel where she was out of her comfort zone.  Thankfully for us, this all happened at a hotel and not our home.  Obviously, we are going to have an anniversary "do-over."   Now that Charlotte is well, we are already able to laugh at the inside jokes from our 5th anniversary.  Ryan is my best friend and I cannot begin to describe how thankful we are for our marriage.  Regardless of the situation, we are always a team!

Poor Charli! But what a team you and Ryan make and it always makes those hard moments a little bit easier! Glad she is feeling better and hopefully you can have an uneventful "re-do" anniversary soon! I was beginning to wonder where your cute little family went since I noticed you weren't on FB anymore! Glad to see you all doing well!
