Chris and I celebrated our five year anniversary today! I had a quiet day while Chris was at work. When I got home from the dog park he was home and all dressed up for our date night. He jumped up and gave me a beautiful bouquet of red roses. I wasn't expecting them and it was such a nice surprise. I definitely wasn't expecting the next gift he gave me either. He got down on his knee, just like when he asked me to marry him, and just like the first time I was thinking, "What is he doing?" He pulled out a jewelry box and a huge smile. He opened the box and, BLING! Diamond earrings!
I was so giddy just putting them on. It was such a special gift and it was so fun to see how proud Chris was to give them to me. Chris said he asked the sales person for the sparkliest pair. Oh, they sparkle. I'm going to develop a twitch just so I can watch them sparkle.
We had been debating about how to celebrate and had decided to keep it simple. At least that's what I thought we had decided :) We did want to step it up a bit from our usual Red Robin and and went to The Melting Pot. This was our first time there and it was a great experience. They told us happy anniversary when we checked in and were very attentive. I love
good customer service.
When our waiter started making our cheese fondue I was asking what was going in it. The base was beer, not broth like we thought it would be. Chris immediately got on his phone, I thought he was using horrible manners for a date, but he was actually looking up how long it takes alcohol to burn off. Not long enough. The waiter was very understanding and made us a different pot with the broth.
Our booth was near the kitchen and there was a lot of foot traffic. They had a nice curtain that we could draw and just snuggle and enjoy our time there. I now strongly believe that every booth should have a curtain.
So in love. So ready for another 5 million years together.
