6 years

So, 6 years ago today was the BIG DAY. So much has changed over those 6 years to bring us to where we are now but we are excited about what is to come. We're hopeful that God will continue to lead us and praying that He will supply a full-time career for Mike in this next year.

After 6 years of marriage, I finally took the advice of marriage counselors and told Mike that this year I expected HIM to plan the day. The only parameters were that it had to be something we both would enjoy, which meant it couldn't involve Chinese food or motorcycles. :) Beyond that, it was up to him - local or out of town, free or involve some $$, inside or outside, whatever...just that he had to plan it.

Well, he really came through. He surprised me with a visit to the Morehead Planetarium (I've been wanting to visit for a while) and a little time in Chapel Hill. Lunch on Franklin St. of some pretty good pizza. Then, we headed home for a little rest time/let the dogs out. Mike then went to the gym for a little work-out and I went to get a pedicure.

His instructions before he left for the gym was that I had to be ready by 6:50 for dinner. I didn't have many hints except for a couple of places that he had thrown out. He wanted to check out somewhere nice and that neither of us had been before. To my surprise, we arrived at Ruth's Chris Steak House for our 7:30 reservations. How fantastic! The service and food were great and we definitely felt like special guests as they made our annivesary dinner special.

After dinner, we stopped by the Observation Deck at RDU to see a few planes land (another something that I have been wanting to do) until it began raining. Then, back home to be greeted by Polly and Blue.

What a fun day! Mike definitely was full of surprises and I enjoyed it all!
