Celebrate Good TImes, Come On!

Imagine the perfect anniversary.

On a beach.

In a foreign country.

With warm weather, not a cloud in the sky. 

Just you and your man.  

Wouldn't that be just perfect?

That's what we had for our 5 year anniversary.  Well, almost.  The part about just me and my man actually included our two kids and about 30 other friends (who were also on the beach), but it was still great.

It's neat to think that Brooks and I will always get to say that we were in Saudi Arabia for our 5th anniversary.

We celebrated earlier in the week with a fantastic dinner, just the two of us, while some friends kept the boys for us.  We got to enjoy a 2 hour meal and talk just the two of us.  It was WONDERFUl!  A new restaurant opened, called Red Dragon at The Yacht, in our town and it's really nice.  The food is "expensive" but it's GOOD food so you don't care the price.  The place is incredibly clean.  I even use the bathroom facilities in it.  That's saying something!  Haha.  The food is so good we got appetizers and dessert.  We even ordered special teas.  Guys, really, this place is a BIG deal to us who are use to eating at hole in the wall joints.  They even use cloth napkins!  Woo hoo!  We made it to the big leagues with this place.  Ok, anyways.  

When we got home from dinner, I found this bag sitting on my pillow.  Yes, it had the cute, blue box with the pretty, satin white ribbon.  Inside was a beautiful, silver heart shaped necklace that I love.  It was a complete surprise. Brooks did GREAT!  I got him a massage for our anniversary.  He loves getting massages and actually asked for that. 

On the actual day of our anniversary, we went out to the beach for a neighbors birthday party, who I made the cake for and just hung out.  It was a blast.  We got to spend the day with our boys, ate at the restaurant on our compound, and relaxed.  It was a fun and memorable day and an anniversary that we're sure to not forget.

Happy 5 years babe!
