We reached our sixth wedding anniversary, but rather than cram everything into one day, we decided to have an anniversary week. Okay, really it was because we were too tired to exchange gifts, go out to dinner, and watch a movie all on one night. Yes, we are super-lame. What's your point?
Anyway, we tried a new Italian place one of Paul's coworkers recommended and oh my gosh! It was the best food ever! I had gnocchi alla vodka and Paul had the special, which was some sort delicious steak wrapped in bacon topped with some cream sauce on a bed of mashed potatoes with asparagus. It cost $30 and was completely worth it. And when I tell you something was $30, you KNOW it is definitely worth the money. Plus, I think I have a new favorite food. They have a lunch menu which is much cheaper, so we have a new lunch spot. I just wish they served lunch on the weekends! It was a very fancy restaurant, good for special occasions.
For gifts, Paul got two video games and I got a lovely ring and tickets to see Green Day in August. So if you want to go, submit your application now (250 words or less). Paul's new games are very good, they keep sucking me in and I keep blurting out orders to him. I keep telling him not to shoot innocent animals in Red Dead Redemption (which looks amazing, FYI--it feels just like being in the middle of Utah with the mountains and the barren wasteland all around you) and to load the flashlight in between squeals of terror in Alan Wake. I'm lucky that he thinks it's adorable that I care for the virtual him and not annoyed at constantly having orders barked at him.
We wussed out of going to a movie and instead choose something we could watch in the comfort of our own home, preferably while lying on the couch. Don't judge us. So we watched "The Dark Knight" on Blu-Ray. (Paul is always trying to show me the error of my DVD-loving ways and I'll admit, it does look way better on Blu-Ray.) I had forgotten how truly good that movie is. That movie is better than Christian Bale is hot. And we all know how hot Christian Bale is. (Muy caliente!)
Well, I need to go make dinner, but sentimentalists never fear! Here's your declaration of our undying love: undying love! Feel better?

Hooray for anniversaries! I just recently rediscovered that you have a blog, so I'll be checking up on it and commenting accordingly. Oh, I like how you chose THAT picture of me to dispay in your profile. Got to love the people you're related to, because there's nothing you can do about it! HAHA! I've since taken the offending tongue ring out, I suppose I just grew out of it. Anyhow, Love you Jen, and I'm very happy for you and Paul!
Why thank you. Did I ever mention your my favorite cousin?
The picture originally was a Chinese actress in historical costume, but my mom kept bugging me for a picture of something closer to me. Hence you, blood relative. I thought the tongue ring looked nice. Of course, I've always longed to dye my hair cranberry so....
For what it's worth, we prefer watching movies at home too. Or at least I do and Bryan prefers that when the movie is on Blu-Ray and it's been in theaters for a while so the film has degraded. But yes, movie on the couch - very nice. :)
Happy anniversary! Weird to think it's been six years. Time really has flown by!
