I DID IT!!!

I surprised Nate this weekend with a night out, just us. I got a babysitter!! I have been fretting over this idea for a long time. I just dont know any of the girls in our ward or neighborhood so I was having a hard time knowing who I could trust. I hate the idea of some person I really don't know being in my house taking care of my child. You just dont know and that scares me. I think the hardest part was making the phone call, but the family was so nice and comforted me in knowing that all would be ok. When she came over, I thought Carter would be a little hesitant to say hi, but he immediately warmed up to her and grabbed her hand to go play. I wanted to keep our date simple and close just in case, so we just did a quick dinner and movie. It was fun to go out and enjoy US time. We came home and she said that he was so much fun and easy. He cried a little when we left, but got over it quick.

I dont know if we will be regular at getting a babysitter, but at least I know now I have a family I can call on as well as that I CAN DO IT!!!
