The Best Date Ever (that I can remember)

Do you see this monster? This is the name of the game, the prize winner, my current love interest and competing for #1.

Lucky for my husband he took me to this lovely establishment where he and the steak could be enjoyed together in the same wonderfilled evening.

Carlo & Johnny's

Sweet Jeff Ruby

Sweet, sweet smell of walking through a steak house parking lot

Don't tell my husband he could have just taken me to the parking lot and I would have been a happy pers.... never mind, once I got into the parking lot I was ravenous!!

He surprised me you see. We always forget about our anniversary until about a day before because of all the christmas hustle and bustle. This year was no different. I called the MIL Thursday morning and asked if she could babysit so my hubby could take me out for our anniversary.

I informed him that the children were taken care of, so all he had to do was take me out.

I got a little hint when he told me to pack their p.j's and then went and put on his nicest dress pants and a sweater over a button up shirt and tie!!!

Uh oh! I am pregnant, nothing fits right, especially dressy clothes that I would typically wear some sort of Lycra underneath!!!

My cute black maternity dress was a no-go circus tent type experience, it was going to be black pants and a sweater that just made me look like I eat too much steak :o)

He took me shopping for a new bra because I informed him that I needed one. I haven't bought one in like 5 years, you know how it is. I even went a step further since he was with me and bought a black one instead of my normal non color. I, of course, gave myself points for this. ;o)

We then drove, and drove, and drove, and turned around and drove some more and then we arrived at our destination.

We were seated and wished a Happy Anniversary :o) And the service was amazing. Craving meat is a new thing with this pregnancy and I informed Joe of this a while back. I ended up ordering a 14oz NY Strip (scoffing at the mention of a 20oz) and then proceeded to eat almost all of it!!! I have never eaten that much meat in my entire life!!! It was stupid good, and I was stupid sick afterwards :o)

The best part of the evening wasn't the steak, although the two probably go hand in hand, was that my love and I TALKED! We carried on full one-on-one, eye contact conversation the entire time we were there! And guess what... I still love him! I do still have stuff to say, it turns out I do still find him interesting, and it only made me long for having him all to myself for an entire week in Maui! 20 days people, 20 days!!!
