"Celebrating our 2nd anniversary on August 24th- It's been a busy two years- to keep it short I'll just say that I love doing life with you. I wouldn't trade it for anything. You're a wonderful husband and an even better father. Your girls love you more than you know. Happy Anniversary babe, cheers to many more"
We spent our anniversary this year in Biloxi, just the two of us. [Caroline went to Sassy & G's house and got to spend a couple days with them & Aunt Kitty & a few other members of the family].
We gambled and ate, and gambled and ate and most importantly- spent those 2 days just us, enjoying one another's company. [with all the eating we did, thank goodness we had comps for all of it, otherwise we would have burned a whole in the pocket! haha]
The food was phenomenal.
When we checked into our room we had a nice spread of meats and cheeses with some wine waiting on us (compliments of my dad, mom, Jimmie & Matt). Thank you again, seriously so sweet!
[as much as I wanted to, I couldn't drink the wine...so we saved it for a later date]
-I know you were just thinking "but wait, you're pregnant??"
:D
After a little rest and a little gambling - we had dinner at the Half Shell Oyster House at the Hard Rock. Once again- phenomenal. Our entrees were great but I want to single out the appetizer and the dessert that we had. Oh. My. Taste-buds. We started with their Fried Green Tomato & Blue Crab Cakes. Heaven in my mouth. We like fried green tomatoes and we like crab cakes - so it was a killer combo! Dessert was another excellent combo: banana fosters cheese cake. Yum!
After dinner, I willingly stayed up until 3:00 AM... AM people! (if you know me well, I'm in bed by 10:30, every.night.) So this was one for the books! It was all in good fun though. & of course Joseph & I said to each other "ahh, can't wait to actually sleep in tomorrow" Yeah, that didn't happen- we both popped up by 9:00. Eh, I was thinking more like 10 or 11, come on body get with it!
We had the lunch buffet at the Hard Rock - The Satisfaction Buffet. A ton of choices. After one small plate, this momma hit up the dessert buffet. Oh, Hadley. I think the soft serve swirl of vanilla and chocolate ice cream was the winner for us!
Joseph & I gambled again- for the rest of the day, side by side at our new favorite game! We had such a blast. It was so cool to find a new game that both of us actually love. It's fun gambling but it's much more fun gambling together.
We had dinner that night over at the 24/7 Grill. Another great choice. AND they had fried pickle spears for an appetizer- which i just could not say no too!
Due to our extremely late night the previous night - we hit the hay early. We enjoyed an awesome "Cage Rage" marathon (we love Nicholas Cage) and a comfy bed for the rest of the evening.
We finished off our trip the next morning with the Satisfaction breakfast buffet. I had to have a little caffeine to start my morning and can I just say the fountain Coca'Cola was the bomb! haha, really though. I don't know what it was - but I liked it!
We had a wonderful trip and we received such love while we were there from all our family and friends. It was truly great to receive texts and Facebook messages and phone calls of people wishing us the sweetest wishes and reminiscing with us on our special day 2 years ago! We're truly blessed.
Did I mention that I'm really craving some of those Fried Green Tomato & Blue Crab Cakes????
of course- now that we're home!
