Number 11

Yesterday, Matt and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. It began as a normal Saturday: Matt playing basketball at church and mommy attempting to sleep in. After a pancake breakfast, we headed over to the Y for Logan's soccer game. Once again, he was the star, despite crying through almost the entire game. The Kiwi's won (their team is green and the coach is from New Zealand) and Logan scored at least 6 goals. The afternoon was spent in the yard, napping, and playing XBox. Then Jessica came over to babysit the kids so we could go out to dinner. Noah has a HUGE crush on her. He turned absolutely giddy waiting for her. He watched out the window and then ran and hid when she got here.

Jimmy and Chey always go to Perry's on their anniversary. I looked it up online and discovered one in downtown Austin. That's where I wanted to go. We were not disappointed. Even though this is not a picture from last night, it is what we were both wearing. This was from NOLA, which was part anniversary celebration last month.

This however, was what Matt ordered. The symphony kabob. Yes, I am the dork who pulled out the camera to take a picture in the middle of an elegant dinner. It was too crazy not to be documented!

Dinner was amazing: scallops wrapped in bacon, a crab cake, pear and pecan salad, filet mignon and lobster tail, fried asparagus topped with crab meat, and the symphony kabob. And I'm drooling just thinking about the dessert - Nutty D'Angelo. Vanilla ice cream rolled in toasted almonds and topped with white chocolate. Then tableside they make a praline sauce to pour over the top. It definitely gave the Diablo Helado a run for its money. We will definitely go back to Perry's again. There were many things left on the menu that we want to try.

After dinner we walked to the Elephant Room to try and listen to some jazz music. No such luck. They were full and it didn't look like anyone would be leaving again soon.

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful hubby. It's been an amazing journey over the past 11 years. No one else I'd rather share it with. I love you!
