3 Years Down, 9834 More to Go!

The boy and I made it to 3 years today!! I must say that this year is the year that we've grown the most as a couple. It's been a long trek to get to the point we're at now, but all the hard work we've poured into us is finally paying off.

The boy and I usually celebrate our anniversaries in style. And by style, I mean STYLE. For instance, our first year, the boy surprised me with a weekend getaway to Napa. We went on a sunrise hot air balloon ride that overlooked all of Napa. We also stayed in Auberge. I double dog dare you to look it up. I promise it will blow your mind to a million pieces. We celebrated our 2nd year in Banff, Canada for a whole week! We still talk about that trip to this day! This year, with Waffles joining us in a few days, we decided to keep it low key. But that didn't mean the surprises came to a halt. No, no, no. That's not how he rolls. The boy surprised me with the most gorgeous bouquet of flowers that I've ever received from ANY boy in my life. It was 7682 kinds of awesome and I just about went batshit crazy when I opened the door.

Absolutely stunning.

My all time favorite: peonies.

The boy treated me out to a fancy dinner at Cin Cin in Los Gatos! When we walked in to the restaurant, the bouquet turned heads. All females were eyeing the beaut and their poor boys probably heard an earful all night. I walked to our table feeling like the queen of the world and couldn't help but feel so lucky to be the one to receive it! 

Now, I don't consider myself a food snob at all. If the food is yummy, the food is yummy and that's about the extent that I can describe it. Which is why I can't explain the food here at Cin Cin, but I can say it was pretty top notch stuff. I can't comment on their entrees because we just gorged ourselves in wine and appetizers. Were they yummy?? Ummm... Let's just say that we couldn't breathe by the end of the meal. 

Even after all the food, we just had to get dessert. I mean... an anniversary without dessert?! Unheard of! So we fought our flashing red I'm-stuffed. Please-don't-put-anything-more-in-me! sensors and managed to convince ourselves that dessert was a must. It did not disappoint.

How I was impatient to further stuff myself was just beyond me...

Thank you for such a romantic night, Puffin! But more than that, thank you for being there for me when I needed your support. Thank you for always being so patient with me. I know I'm not the easiest person to handle. Most of all, thank you for always making me laugh by making a complete fool of yourself. You're my constant light that always shines so brightly, even through my stubborn dark times. I can't wait to see what year 4 has in store for us!! It's gonna be good! <3

Happy anniversary love!
