Five Year Anniversary

First off, hope you had a happy Fourth of July. It is always a fun time of year. This year was our five year anniversary. It hardly seems like five years has passed. It is like we have had one big long year with so many events. To name a few, and not in any particular order... We have traveled around the world to California, Italy, Hawaii, Disney World and even Jackson Hole. We have been there for each other when grandparents have passed away. We have had the joy of bringing two beautiful children into this world. We have shared our faith. We have bought a house and made a home. We have had ups and downs and all arounds. We have learned what makes us tick and what makes us laugh. We have learned how we can think of the very same thing at the same time and laugh at how we can do that. We are learning to be parents together. We have watched countless movies together and jumped in the pool a million times, but I think the best thing is that we have no idea what tomorrow brings. We will always keep each other guessing. I love you, Bran.

To celebrate, I made the plans this weekend, and surprised Brandon with dinner at Sambuca Cafe in Addison. He didn't know where we were going and he kept trying to guess. He usually figures out every surprise or tries to guess, and then gets it right just by seeing me smile. But this time, he had no idea. He had many ideas like a comedy club, or studio movie grill, or even bowling because they were all in Addison as well. However, when we pull up, he was perplexed. He had no idea, and I was excited!

We got a nice booth right in front, and the Creole King Band started playing around 8:30. Sambuca was not packed at all. I guess it was the holiday weekend. But we definitely want to go back. We had lobster enchiladas and salmon. We even had a glass of wine and a specialty mint drink and creme brulee. We also had more than just the band for entertainment. We had a couple in their 70s dancing like they were on dancing with the stars. They were even dipping. It was fun.
