It's not very often that Trevor and I get time together, just the two of us, without Bentley for longer than a couple of hours. Well, the weekend of the 10th to the 12th, we finally got to have some time together, just the two of us! No Bentley, no distractions, no one else, just quality time as husband and wife.
I was having a very off week and just needed a break from Bentley and wanted to go spend a night out in Wenatchee with Trev. So I asked my mother in law if she would watch Bentley after she got home from work, so I could go, but she had already committed to go on splits with the sister missionaries. She suggested that I go up on Friday and spend the whole weekend, while she would watch Bentley. I agreed and made her promise not to tell Trev, because it's going to be a surprise!
Well, Trevor and I are best known for ruining surprises we have for each other! I ended up telling him and was counting down the days until I got to go out and be with him.
As much as I love having time with just Trevor and I, we both always end up missing Bentley. Bentley knew I was leaving and tried to escape out the front door, but couldn't because he hasn't figured out how to unlock it yet!
Trevor and I had so much fun being together! We went up to Leavenworth and played mini-golf, as well as explored the little shops they have downtown and did some shopping! We also ate out a lot and just relaxed at the hotel. We even went and saw a movie!
Whenever we get time together with just the two of us, we always talk about Bentley. He is our whole world and Trevor always convinces me to go back to his mom's house so he can see him. Well that weekend I promised myself I wasn't going to give in, but sadly I did. Haha! It was worth it though, I love seeing Trevor and Bentley together.
While we had our little weekend getaway, my awesome mother in law watched Bentley for us all weekend. Bentley loves his Grammy Simpson, there is no one else like her.
Trevor's time at home was ending, and I had to drive him back to Wenatchee. We planned on going to a restaurant to grab some food, than I'd head back home to Connell. Well, things didn't quite happen like that since I got a really bad bladder infection. I was in so much pain! Ever since I've had Bentley, I can't stop getting kidney and bladder infections.
I ended up staying the night, and we got up at 2:00 am so Trevor could drive me back to Connell, so he could make it back to work in Wenatchee on time. I was so tired and so angry that he wouldn't let me sleep at the hotel, and we got delayed a couple of times on the road. We finally made it home to Connell and Trevor drove to Tri-Cities to get my medicine. I don't know how I got so lucky to call him mine, but I did. He does so much for Bentley and I, it's unbelievable.
6/19/2016 was Trevor's second Father's Day! We enjoyed it together as a little family. We made it simple and got him some gifts! A couple of ties, a card and some candy. We then drove around town and went down to the dam and played at the park. It's so nice when we get to go out and do family stuff, even if we have to skip out on church to do it! Don't worry, we'll be going to church next Sunday to make up for it!
Bentley loves Trevor so much! I love seeing them play together and interacting with one another. They only get to see each other once a week, because Trevor's working out in Wenatchee right now. By that's all going to change in just a couple of weeks! Soon we get to have Trevor home every single day, and we can't wait.
Trevor is a very hardworking man, always doing what's best for our little family, and loves Bentley and I more than anything in this world! We are so lucky we get to call him ours.
My dad is currently in China for his job, but yesterday at 7:30 PST it was still Father's Day, so I tried calling him to see if I could get a hold of him. I did! He answered! This is how our conversation went:
Dad: Hello dear darling.
Me: Hi dad! It's still Father's Day here in America, so I just called you to wish you a happy Father's Day!
Dad: Congratulations darling!!! That's wonderful!
Me: Why are you telling me congratulations?! It's Father's Day, we're celebrating you!
Dad: Oh haha, well thank you!
Me: Ok weirdo, glad you answered!
Dad: Thanks Emi, love you.
Me: Love you too dad.
If you know my dad, and you know me than you know that I have a really close relationship with him. He has raised ten kids, worked hard at his different jobs, loves his grandkids more than his kids, and always makes time for all of us.
No matter how old I get he's always just a phone call away, my go to for any advice, my should to cry on, the greatest grandpa to Bentley and my nieces and nephews, and the greatest dad to his ten kids.
Father's Day isn't about the gifts, it's about celebrating the men in our lives who are amazing fathers. I love Trevor and my dad so much and I'm so glad Bentley looks up to them and will continue to while he grows up.
Until next time!
Xoxo, Emi
