Happy 6 Anniversary

Well, folks, we've made it another year.  :)  I can't believe that we've been married for 6 years already!  And, I would say that you were lying other than the fact that I have an almost FIVE year old child!  What?!  Craziness!




Well, this year some sweet friends of ours asked if they would watch our kiddos so we could go out.  It's been about half a year since we've been on a date, so we certainly jumped at that opportunity to go out together.  We ended up going out to dinner with some friends.. which is also a rare treat since they have small children too!  The stars must've aligned!  We went to a tapas restaurant downtown Kzoo called Fandango and it was DELICIOUS.  We got 8 different small plates and some dessert... and of course, their seasonal white peach sangria champagne.  yum yum!  We got two different plates of tuna... one seared that had this delicious ginger/soy slaw and then these tuna cubes that were ontop of pickled cucumber with ginger and other yummies... those were my two favorite plates.  We also got this steak with caramelized onion and gorgonzola cheese, lamb, calamari, polenta balls, their fandango fire shrimp, and empenadas.  It all went down very easily... and if we had more time and more money I think I would've been satisfied ordering one of everything off their menu. :)  We got cheesecake for dessert which was also very scrumptious.






After that we walked downtown a bit and then headed to their blues fest.  It was all right... we were definitely the youngest people there by far.  It was just nice being together with another couple and hanging out.  :)








The next morning we had to get our tires changed in GR so we met up with Beaker for anniversary brunch at Wolfgangs.  It was delicious and so filling that I didn't end up eating until dinner that night after running with my sister.




It was an incredible celebration and I can honestly say I love being married.  There isn't a single thing about it that I would change.  I realized that in the 6 years we've been married we've moved 6 times, 4 different cities, and have had 3 children... a lot has happened but I wouldn't change it for the world.  I don't want to sound like I'm bragging but being married is by far the easiest and best decision ever.  :)  Love you.
