Our Date-a-Versary

We hit the four year milestone back in November and even though we have a new "official" anniversary, we decided that we'll continue to celebrate our Date-a-Versary for years to come. Because really, who doesn't like a good excuse to make a really nice dinner and open a nice bottle of red wine? And maybe if I'm lucky, the flowers will continue too :) 

I love you, Joe!

Flashback to Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3!

Five Years

Yesterday was my five year anniversary at work. Say what?! FIVE YEARS! I can't believe how quickly time flies. It seems like just yesterday I was blogging about my two year anniversary. (Which also gets me thinking, wow, I've been blogging for a long time!) It's truly amazing how much has changed in the past five years - South Lake Union (where our office is located) has grown exponentially, I've run in several half marathons and one full marathon, I've lived four different places - the Big House in Green Lake (for only a couple weeks of work), an apartment with Holden in Green Lake, my sweet little Ballard apartment and now our home. I've gone on magical trips to Hawaii, Lake Chelan, Leavenworth, Iceland, Sweden, the California coast and more. I also met and fell in love with my sweets (almost 3 years ago!).

At any rate, to mark the occasion, my boss took me out to lunch at Serious Pie and our client joined the fun. It was a fun way to celebrate the milestone! 

But seriously, someone please tell me, how does time go by so quickly?!

Cupcake Royale

After a delicious homemade meal, we hit up Cupcake Royale for our anniversary last week - the very spot of our first date. While two years ago, we walked to the Irish bar down the street (we didn't want it to end!), this year the old folks inside of us thought we'd call it a night. Besides, we had some Peterson Winery Zinfandel from our road trip to finish up, not to mention a Thanksgiving meal to prepare for the next day!
