When we got home from work, we exchanged cards. Awww...I love what that man writes to me! He's amazing. Here's us, after opening the cards - warning: just because we have a camera now does not mean we take good pictures. =)
Then we went to L'Opera, where we hope to celebrate lots and lots of anniversaries (to those who remember, it's where we had our wedding reception). We enjoyed an appetizer, some lovely wine, three kinds of pasta that we shared and the creme brulee (Ian's fav) with cappuccinos for dessert. It was very decadent and celebratory. Here we are, right outside L'Opera, after dinner.
On Saturday, we're leaving for Santa Barbara, where we'll be at a Bed & Breakfast until Monday (MLK Day, which we both have off). Up there, we'll look through our Anniversary Box (thanks Mom for putting that together after our wedding!), which has our vows, our program, answers to Anniversary questions from last year and a few other things. We started this tradition last year, and if my weepy, sentimental response to it was any indication, we'll be doing it every year. Ian also puts together some questions for us (mentioned above) and we take them up with us, reflect on them, write down our responses and then share them together (and then put them in the box for the next year). It's a very meaningful way for us to think about the year we had and our marriage in the years to come.
I love anniversaries and I'm so thankful I have dozens more to come!
