Anniversary

Karl and I just celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary in July. We were planning to go to Chicago this year but our plans didn't work out. We WILL go next year though.

Since we weren't able to go I decided to plan a secret date to Mangia. It's a restaurant that has Chicago style pizza. I figured if we couldn't go to Chicago I would bring a little piece of Chicago to us. I sent Karl directions and told him to meet me after work (it was on a Tuesday). Little did I know that he was going to pop the directions into google and find out where we were going (what a stinker). After work we pulled up and Karl had a BEAUTIFUL rose and gladiola arrangement for me. It was so beautiful. I decided to bring my flowers into the restaurant because I didn't want them to get ruined in the car.

We walked in and the hostess asked us what the occasion was. We told her it was our 2 year wedding anniversary and she looked at us like we were crazy and said "Congratulations." I guess you could say that we didn't have typical wedding anniversary celebration but we liked it. For our 1 year anniversary we went to Buffalo Wings & Rings because it's our FAVORITE restaurant. I never like buffalo wings until we found that place. :)

We were seated and we got a medium sized deep dish pizza. It was HUGE. I could have eaten on it for a week. I liked the pizza but the only thing I didn't like about it is that the tomato sauce is on top of the cheese and I like the cheese more than I like the tomato sauce. Overall it was a pretty good pizza. The waiter also asked us what the occasion was and after we told him he said, "Wow, thanks for sharing that with us." It was funny and we had fun :).

Our 7 year dating anniversary is this Wednesday. I can't believe we've been together that long. It's been so much fun. I get to be with my best friend every day. I wouldn't trade that for anything.

Did I tell you that we were getting a house? I'll write my next blog on that. It's BEAUTIFUL! Closing date is October 30th! Less than a month away :)
