Our Third Anniversary!!
July 1st was officially our third anniversary. We set out to make it memorable and fun-packed. I especially made sure we had plenty to do that day, but Drew had his contributions as well. We both have Wednesdays off of work and our anniversary landed on a Wednesday so we had the whole day to play.
We started the day with hiking near Mt. Rose which was beautiful and fun. It really made me miss hiking 14ners in Colorado. The hike was nearly as long as we thought, but it was still exhausting since the end was steep and then we ran down. It made me miss Colorado even more thinking of all the amazing trail runs there are. (On a side note, the last time we were in Colorado was for Joseph's wedding in 2007. We have made it our goal to get out there soon to see my family...only problem is that my family is so spread out :( I guess that's why we are constantly with Drew's family- much easier to see the whole family.) The trail we went on was called Dry Pond which connects a loop of trails Whites Creek Trail and Jones. There was a meadow at the top and yes, even a dried up looking pond.
After the hike we cleaned up in time to make it to our appointment for a pair of massages. I had coupons for two free 1 hour massages. All was well... I had never had a massage so I thought how wonderful! I found the hardest part was to let myself relax with this stranger. Both Drew and I emerged feeling a bit like limp noodles (at least my legs were)... anyhow I will get back to this later.
We went straight to Costco to buy our wonderful memory foam contoured pillows for each other since our old ones are nearly as thin as pancakes and we've been having troubles sleeping. I'm happy to report that this is one of the best pillows I've ever had and I love sleeping on it.
After Costco we went home again, grabbed a slight snack. Although not originally planned Drew wanted to go watch the new transformers movie so we went to that. By this time I had developed a pounding headache and the last thing that I wanted to do was be hammered by a loud theater and harsh light, but we went nonetheless.
Now that we were starving we went and tried out BJ's restaurant! It was amazing! And the atmosphere was great too. I was so hungry I felt faint and could have eaten anything. I ordered the balsamic chicken and Drew ordered a pizza. The pizza I'll have to admit was better (that's what they are known for!) I highly recommend it. Anyways... by the end of our meal I was feeling really sick. I went to the bathroom and started dry heaving... it was awful. I felt sick all over, I had a headache and felt nausous, hence the dry heaving. I collected myself in time to go to our table and promptly that we needed to leave NOW! He refused to leave if I felt like throwing up. I insisted that I was fine to make it home and I would not throw up in the car. Satisfied, Drew took me home and tucked me into bed around 9:30pm or so. He was really sweet and understanding, but I felt bad that I was so sick feeling and had to ditch him for the rest of the night. I know, such a romantic ending, huh?
Apparently when you get a massage you're supposed to go home, take it easy, and drink plenty of water. I think hiking did me in. Moral of the story is: Less IS More. It was still a very memorable anniversary, just went a little differently than I had planned in my mind.
A walk down memory lane! I was going through all of my old e-mails and I found these e-mails between Drew and I that were so cute. I loved dating Drew and being engaged.It was fun remembering how we couldn't wait to see each other after school and work. When he would come to the library to surprise me at work. How we spent all of our summer nights talking on his porch. I had almost forgot how fun that was. Drew is so sweet and while he might not seem like the romantic type, he really deserves more credit than I give him. Just the other day he turned to me and said, "Let's get a blanket and go watch the sunset somewhere." I was like, "Really?" so he grabbed some fudge from Cabela's and a blanket and we drove off. Drew is an excellent husband and I love to be around him. He makes my heart happy! :)
