Steppin' Out Satuday - Date Night Sans Baby!

I can count on one hand the number of times that M and I have gone out without Carina. We live half-way across the country from most of our family and good friends, and haven't really felt comfortable leaving her with people we don't know.

Truth be told, I'm also pretty cheap. And with my quitting work and M still {only} collecting his graduate student stipend, things are a bit tight right now!

So when a friend of mine from work offered to watch Carina with his wife while M and I head out for a nice dinner (on them!) I was floored. Thank you again, guys SO MUCH - I know you read this ;)

On our way out for a baby-free night!

Top: F21

Sweater: F21
Jeans: Levi's from Kohl's - these barely fit me before I got pregnant. They fit great now...eee!
Shoes: Payless

Necklace: F21 {what can I say, I'm an F21 whore today}

Earrings: From a glass artisan in Murano, Italy

Bag: Coach

In an effort to feel pretty again, I had M take a few close ups of me. Anyone have any good tips on how not to feel awkward when someone is taking photos of you? I am not at all photogenic and it has always made me uncomfortable...

Please ignore the gas station behind me

We celebrated the anniversary of when we first started dating - 6 years ago. Who knew that here we would be, 6 years later...married, with an adorable little girl, and M about to become Dr. M. Crazy how time flies, isn't it?
