On Friday night we were invited to have Cocktails with our dear friend Catfish (Scott), so we got a sitter (I know date night!) and headed for one of our favorite areas in Denver, the Highlands. We had been to cocktails with Catfish a few other times before we had kids and it was always a blast. We always knew most of the people that came and would spend hours conversing and drinking and usually close the bar down. Boy have times changed. We knew a FEW of the people there, not a big deal, it is always nice to get to know other young Denver Catholics. We only stayed a few hours because we knew we needed to be home to put Hannah to bed (our HS sitter really could not do it in the past) and to nurse Felicity again before bed time. Even though it was short it really was a wonderful time. Catfish really knows how to host a group of young people (he bought everyone their first drink) and just did a great job of making everyone feel so special and included and introduced everyone to everyone. I know we both miss those times of going out and being with friends and having a pretty good buzz going by the end of the night, but I would not trade our life now for any of it. It was a much needed night out for just Andrew and I, we were able to connect for the entire evening (it makes it much easier to do when you have a good night rest, thank you Felicity for finally sleeping thru the night!) I do have to say that I sure can't drink as much a I use to either, after a few drinks I was pretty "happy", but the next morning was not so much fun. Remind me not to do that again, especially with a little ones who think that the day starts at 7AM :)
Thank you little ones for keeping me grounded and reminding me that I am not 25 anymore.
Thank you for giving me a whole new set of responsibilities.
All my love,
Mom
