love him...

Thank you so much for all the sweet & funny comments on my last post.  Those pants in the 1st picture crack me up, too (they are kinda like feaux leather pants... a mistake is what they are, but apparently they didn't scare Ben away, so that's OK).  For our anniversary evening, Ben told me to be ready to go to dinner at 6:30, and the rest was a surprise, so this got me excited.  I LOVE surprises and am not one to try and figure them out, I just needed to know what to wear!

So, when Ben got home from work, we exchanged gifts!  He had been paying attention after I went shopping on Saturday and said I found a coat I wanted for Christmas, and he went back and bought it (just from memory of what I had said in passing) for our anniversary and I wore it to dinner!  Ben scheduled a TAXI to come pick us up at 6:30 (no drinking & driving, smart boy) and take us to dinner at the Wash House in Fairhope.  Neither of us had ever been but had heard great things about it.  We enjoyed a bottle of wine and pretty much a 4 course meal (appetizer, soup, salad, entrees of filet and lamb).  It was really fun to reflect on the past 2 years & keep the romance alive.

Wednesday night, I had my monthly BUNKO group with friends, so we weren't home all night.  So Thursday night I was swamped with work stuff on the computer to catch up on from not being home 2 evenings in a row.  I was stressed and felt bad about not cooking dinner for us, so Ben took over the dinner-fixin role and said he would make a salad for us.  I didn't think anything of it, but then he served me this fantasticly delicious masterpiece..

let me tell you, the little things make a big difference sometimes.... he impresses me... and i love him :)
