Our Anniversary

It was Alex & I's two year anniversary yesterday and I got spoiled.

A huge, beautiful bouquet of flowers came to my work as a wonderful surprise. The flowers were about half the size of me! And I don't even know where to start with the different kinds... the only one I know is Lilies, and they aren't even in bloom yet. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

Then Alex picked me up from work and we came back to his place to meet the mortgage specialist to sign our mortgage. (We have a new home!! Yippee! So excited.) I know it doesn't seem like a romantic thing to do, but we spun it as symbolic, and a cool way to ring in the specailness of the night. I mean, it's like we bought a house for our two year anniversary. :-)

Then Alex surprised me and took me to a restaurant I've been wanting to try for a while. Kobe Japanese Steak and Seafood House. It had a beautiful, wooden interior and was a split level eating/drinkin area. The entrance level was where we sat and had a drink before heading upstairs. That's a neat idea because it lets people lounge as long as they want in comfy chairs and couches, then decide to dine when they're ready. We sat down and ordered a couple of drinks, then went upstairs to eat pretty much right away. The way they have it set up is that the chef comes out when the table is full and starts cooking right in front of you. The chef we had was from Taiwan and he was entertaining. Knife wielding, canned jokes that were actually funny, and a terriyaki squirt bottle gone wrong all made the night super enjoyable. The steak was unbelievable! I've never had that melt-in-your-mouth, delicious steak before. We both had the terriyaki combination with steak and chicken, and if I were to go back, I would only order the steak - and lots of it! My Entertainment Card came in very handy as well. Superb showmanship like that always seems better when you know you're getting a good deal too. It was an amazing two year celebration.
