Happy Anniversary!

Matt and I celebrated six years of marriage on Monday! We have always gone by the book (shocking, huh?) when it comes to giving gifts. For instance, the first anniversary was paper so Matt bought me some scrapbooking supplies (I was into scrapbooking back then) and I bought him some stationary. This year, the gifts called for candy and/or iron. Well, the candy part is easy. I bought him two one-pound gift certificates to See's Candy. His FAVORITE place to get candy. Even though we are both being disciplined and eating right and trying to lose weight, it's the anniversary and reason to splurge a little.
The iron part was a little harder for me so I just stuck with the candy part. Matt worked a little harder.
Our plan for the anniversary night was to attend the San Francisco Giants game on Monday night so we packed everything we needed into Matt's car on Monday morning and got Diana's suitcase ready for a night at Gramma V's. Matt was scheduled to pick me up from work around 4 p.m. but had to run an errand for me. I looked out my work window to see if he was out front (because I know how he hates to sit out there and wait for me) and I see this limo pull up in front of the building with a sign on the side. Now, we have a lot of limos come to Copart every now and then, but this was different because of the sign. Though I couldn't see what the sign said, I just had a feeling that Matt had gone a little crazy.
Sure enough, the receptionist called me up and asked me "Can you come down and get this?" I asked her "Is that limo for me?" She replied "I have no idea what you are talking about." Hardy har.
So, I went downstairs--with my entourage from work gushing behind me. The limo driver was waiting with some balloons and escorted me to the limo where Matt was waiting--with candy! YUM!
He said he was sure there was iron on the limo somewhere. :)
We opened our cards to one another (we got each other the same Mickey Mouse card) and enjoyed the trip into the city. We sat in the club level during the game so we had easy access to all kinds of food. We even sat inside during the last two and a half innings because it was a little chilly outside. They had televisions so we cheered the Giants on with the staff members waiting to get off work(it was cute).
The Giants won which was awesome and we feel asleep on the way home. It was a great anniversary...once again!
