Doug and I decided to spend the evening together sans Coopy and Tot on Saturday. Mom offered to watch Taties, and Coopy went to the pet hotel. We are so grateful for the help!
I got up early on Saturday morning to take Cooper to the hotel, and this was on my window. I didn’t even notice it for a while because it was literally raining cats and dogs; more like tigers and wolves! How sweet this is.
Later on, we both got ready in separate bathrooms, and this was sitting on the kitchen counter. I have the most romantic sweet hubs ever.
He wanted me to wear something a bit short and tight, so I tried to accomplish this. The things we do for our loves!
We tried to get some self shots with our new camera, but we realllllllleeeee need a tripod. So…we waited until we got to Mastro’s. Doesn’t he look AAAdorable!?
Mastro’s is one big class act; it is a bit dark inside to set the ambiance. It is also staffed with sub-waiters and sub-sub waiters to make sure you are completely spoiled. We sat down and received a nice card.
Started with a little vino.. CHILLED table-side.
And then we ordered some sashimi tuna sliced ultra-thin with a lovely truffle oil on the side.
We decided to make a list as we ate about, “The Benefits of Being Married.” We each took a turn. Stay tuned for this!
The dinner was immaculate and perfect. Filet cooked to medium and perfection and I had the coveted Chilean Sea Bass. Melt-in-mouth delicious.
During our transition time, my love went to the car and returned with this:
I slowly unveiled the SCROLL! He used a branch from our new neighborhood in McCormick; tied it with leather straps and wrote on the vellum papyrus.
WWWWWHOOOOA! The memory key made it even more special.
Look at this:
He captured the most significant milestones of our year. He’s so right…we’ve grown SO MUCH as a family and as a couple in this short time. What more we have to come!
He is so incredibly creative, but more importantly, in tuned with ME. Together, we captured so much of the joy of being married. (disregard my less than stellar penmanship).
We would’ve filled up the whole card, but this came:
STOP THE INSANITY! This looks good enough to eat. Ok, we will!
Served with a bucket of cream on the side. SRSLY.
What an amazing evening. Yes, it was pricey….
but so memorable. Tatum and Coopy were missed, but it’s so important to build “US” apart from our other parts.
I love you, Douglas Hay. I love being your Mrs. in every way. SMOOCH!
