Yesterday we celebrated our 11th year being married. We drove up on a cold and snowy day to Omaha to take care of some computer problems (FUN!)! Well, it was at the Apple Store, so it actually WAS kinda fun.
After visiting Scheels (one of our favorite stores) and doing a little bit of Christmas shopping, we headed over to one of our favorite restaurants, Stokes. Mmmmm. Just typing it in again makes me love it all over again.
Every time we go there, we get this thing called the “Fire Shrimp”. I can’t even describe it adequately. It’s hot...like close-my-throat and eyes-watering hot. I didn’t think to get a picture of how delightful it looks until the shrimp was already eaten, so I got a picture of the spicy oil that the shrimp gets dipped in.
Seriously tasty dish, even by looking at it, right? So, we get ready to get our bill from the waitress and she said someone had called in and paid for our meal. She didn’t know who it was, but there was only one person who knew exactly where we were at that time, and it was our friend, Bob Burton. So, thanks, Bob!
With that, it was time to come home...slide home, that is. The roads weren’t too bad on the interstate but once we got back into town, they were pretty nasty. We picked up the kids at school about 10 minutes late and headed home.
Now here’s the part I love.
Most couples like to spend their anniversary going out to eat for dinner at a nice restaurant, maybe a movie....and while that is always nice to a degree, we spent the evening doing something that we TRULY enjoy.
We headed down to our basement, started a fire and roasted hot dogs and s’mores with the kids, watching some silly movie on TV (I think it was Narnia) and then some Sportscenter and just being together...it was AWESOME....because it was “us”...
Simple.
Happy Anniversary to us! What a cray 11 years it has been.
