Finding Our Way Back

Belated Valentines

Candice’s POV
It’s March 15, and tomorrow we are celebrating Valentine's Day. We are celebrating it tomorrow because, 1 the twins were only 2 weeks old on valentines day, and we were still trying to balance being parents and working, and 2 because I finally made it to the 6 week mark. Those 6 weeks were tortuous.

My parents are in town to watch the babies and the dogs for the 2 days we will be gone and I am really nervous even though we won’t be no further than 15 minutes away, and we will only be gone from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon, this is still the longest we have ever been away from the bubbas. This day is really needed, though.

Me and G agreed not to get each other anything this time around because all we really wanted was to spend time with each other, but I already know he will probably get me chocolates and flowers so I decided to get him, his favorite candy and a couple more patches to add to his jacket with two special custom made ones with the twins names on them just to show him I care.

Even though I am nervous I’m also so excited, I got waxed, shaved, got a facial, got my nails and toes done, and got my hair done. I know Grant could care less if I did any of these things because he would think I was beautiful even if I was covered in mud, but I just wanted to look extra good for our little excursion and it also made me feel good too.

Grant’s POV
I’ve been out and about for almost 2 hours now. The first thing I did was went and got a retouch on my haircut, then got it washed and conditioned, next I went and grabbed the flowers and chocolate for C that I will hide in the nursery because me and C agreed not to get each other anything, but me being me I had to get her something, I got a pedicure and a manicure because I definitely needed one, I got a facial for the first time and I think I might go back, then lastly I got waxed down there and when I say I won’t be doing that again any time soon I mean it, I don't know how she does it.

C would probably care less if I did any of this, but I wanted to look my best for her and not look like we have 1 month old twins. She also insisted on planning everything, but I did sneak some surprises in there just because I really love her. Tomorrow is gonna be great.

Candice’s POV
It’s the next day and we just said our goodbyes and I can’t lie I did cry a good bit because I’m gonna miss my babies, but it’s ok because we won’t be gone long. We put our bags in the car and headed off. We had about 3 hours until our room was ready at 12 so we went for coffee, which was Grant’s idea.

We pulled up to our favorite coffee shop, and Grant got our coffees and sandwiches while I grabbed a table. G: “a mocha iced coffee with 2 pumps of strawberry and a bacon croissant sandwich for the lady and an iced chai latte and a sausage croissant sandwich for me” C: “thanks babe” G: “your welcome” we start to eat and I don’t know what they did differently but it was really good today.

G: “so what’s the plan for today” C: “I’m glad you asked in an hour we have rock climbing because I know how much you want to go, then we will check in, then at 2 we will have a lunch date on a boat for an hour, then at 3:30 we will do a 45 minute hot yoga class in the hotel which I think will be fun, then we will have some down time for a while until our 7:00 dinner reservations. Tomorrow will basically just be a relaxing day” G: “sounds like fun, you did really good” C: “thank you” we finish our breakfast and headed to our first excursion.

Grant’s POV
C insisted on driving, which gave me enough time to book my surprises. During our downtime, I plan to take C to the spa where they have jacuzzis, saunas, smoothie bars, and massages. She is gonna be so excited, probably more excited than I am to go rock climbing. She is going down.
