On June 10, 2011, Jason and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary!  The day itself wasn’t all that exciting – as life is much different now with a baby!  I had to work that weekend, so we got to have our date night the next weekend, on the 18th.  My parents came up to watch Ethan so we could have the day to ourselves.  One of our favorite things to do together is eat good food, so we decided to try The Oceanaire.  Neither of us are huge seafood fans, but we wanted to try something different.  We went all out, of course, with cocktails, appetizers, entrees and sides.  I had shrimp scampi and Jason had fish, and all of our food was delicious!  It was well worth the money and we had a great time pretending we were Top Chef judges, as we normally do when we are eating good food.  They surprised us with a Baked Alaska for dessert!  We had planned to go to the Chocolate Cafe afterwards (for Almond Joy ice cream!) but it was raining and we were full, so we decided to head home.  We stopped by Garden Ridge (yes, we went to Garden Ridge on our 5 year anniversary celebration, we are lame!) to look for some patio furniture.  We decided to get some wooden patio furniture since the 5 year anniversary “gift” is wood, but we haven’t found any we like yet.

Of course we forgot to take pictures, so I will leave you with 5 years of memories.  Jason and I feel so blessed to have had such an amazing 5 years together, and we can’t wait to see what God has in store in the next 5 years!
