Happy 5th Anniversary!

The date

So, Friday May 31st was our 5 year wedding anniversary! Fun huh? John likes to say 5 years of pure bliss :) ...Well, it has been pretty wonderful (even though we have had some amazingly hard stuff to deal with in the last couple of years).  God could not have blessed me with a better husband... and for those of you who know John, I am a pretty lucky gal (and who are we kidding he is pretty darn lucky too!).  So yada yada...enough of the mushy stuff!  

We spent the day doing work but did get to go out on Friday night.  I chose an Irish pub called the Irish Rover in a historic neighborhood called Clifton.  It was right off the avenue which had a lot of neat trendy restaurants and shops.  John ordered a Guinness and I ordered a hard cider and they set us up in the "date table."  Really this meant that John and I were sitting next to each other in a high back booth facing the street.  It was nice and cozy but funny since John and I always laugh when couples sit on the same side of the table.  We generally like to sit across from another and John in general a no public display of affection kind of guy---sometimes I can get him to hold my hand --- sometimes ;)

So any sort of diet we were on before went out the door at the Irish Rover.  I ordered bubble and squeak (which is basically a fried mashed potato cake) and John ordered cheese and chive fritters (which was basically fried cheese) for appetizers (did I mention we had also eaten a bread basket full of the most amazing sour dough and soda bread!).  Anyway, I did not feel as bad because I had a salad for dinner -- John had a BLT with Irish chips (or what we Americans like to call your basic french fry!)

fried cheese and chives  and bubble and squeak!

We topped the night off with local made ice cream from the Comfy Cow which was just a 5 minute walk from dinner and home to the Casita where we snuggled in to our little hobbit hole and enjoyed an episode of Downtown Abby.

Cheers to 5 happy years! 

Thank you for the first 5 years can't wait for the next 50 --- I love you dear!

C + J & 4 lucky to have us as parents pups!
