Another Year Under Our Belt

Saturday we celebrated another year married!  And for the first time in quite a few years we actually had a real date night.

Our original plan was to have dinner at Merlot restaurant, since that was where we got engaged twelve years ago and it is rumored that it will be closing for private functions only later on this year.  Since neither of us were smart enough to call for reservations until Saturday morning we missed out.  The website didn’t say that the dinner was sold out, but apparently it was.  So we went on to plan B, C, and eventually D which had us having an early dinner at Stella Osteria, walking around the market and browsing Chapters without children, and on to a movie at the Cineplex.

We saw Date Night, so appropriate for a wedding anniversary.  We found it surprisingly hilarious.  I say surprisingly because we thought they showed all the good parts in the trailer but, they didn’t! Steve Carroll never disappoints and Tina Fey was perfect for in her role.

We ate too much food, laughed a little too hard then collected the kids from the Grandparents (totally asleep, thank goodness it is warmer out).  All around a perfect evening for the two of us.  Eleven years doesn’t seem like that long some days and seems like eternity others.  Onward to another year.

    That sounds great! What fun! I want to see that movie too. I’ve only been to Stella once, it was very good.

    Good for you. We usually forget our anniversary. We frequently end up at Chapters on our dates also. 🙂
