4 + 4 = 8

Our fourth wedding anniversary marks another very special occasion in our relationship- we have now been married for as long as we'd been dating (including engagement) before our wedding day... almost exactly to the day, if we were to measure the beginning of our relationship by our first kiss. Cue sound effect: aaaaawwwwww!

We had an amazing anniversary dinner last night at The Melting Pot. Aunt Sarah and Uncle Tim came over to watch Luc, so we were able to savor every last bite of our delicious, candlelit, baby-free, four course meal, and manage to have an interesting, uninterrupted conversation (something we really need to do more often). Everything there is so yummy... we chose the following: 1. a fancy three cheese fondue- with chunks of bread, apples, and raw veggies, 2. house salad, 3. pieces of steak, salmon, shrimp, lobster, filled pastas and veggies-which we cooked (fondue style of course) in their tangy "mojo" broth, and dipped in each and every one of their numerous tasty sauces at least once, and 4. the yin and yang (white/dark) chocolate fondue. Oh, and we each had a glass of wine. It was absolutely mmmmmmgurglegurglemmm.

We headed home to a sleeping baby and popped in a movie (which I thought was pretty darn good). So, the best part of the whole night? For me, it was when Luc woke up crying halfway through the movie, and SD brought him downstairs so I could nurse him back to sleep. We cuddled together on the couch with Luc stretched out on my lap for the rest of the movie. And it felt so good. After spending the last few days reminiscing about our wedding day, sitting there with my husband four years later, looking down at our little boy- at the life we created together, was an awesome feeling, and an awesome way to end our anniversary celebration, as a family.

So, about all that reminiscing... you'll have to wait until tomorrow.
