Temp: 29 degrees
July 24th, 1999 was seven years ago... hard to believe! How quickly time flies, and yet the wedding seems like a lifetime ago. So much has happened in our lives since then! Just thinking back at the eleven years Carole and I have been together, so many awesome adventures come to mind... many of them have even been blogged in this forum!
Today started off nicely. I decided to take the day off work, so I slept in until about 9, did some little chores around the house, and then spent the remainder of the day alternating between gardening (or just laying back lazily) in the sun, and going downstairs to cool off and play some more Need for Speed. I beat the top racer by the way, and I'm now #1 on the blacklist, but just when you think the game is finally over, now I've gotta evade 30 police cars for six minutes... if you get away, THEN you finally win the game ... or do you?
I had a doctor's appointment at 5, and then at seven Carole and I went out to Saint St. Grill in Port Moody, our favorite local fine dining establishment. It might have something to do with the fact that they mail us a 'complimentary entree' letter on our anniversary every year, but we love going to this place for those special occasions. I've never been dissatisfied with the food or the service here, and as we all know, I can be a little hard to please some times...
So we started by sharing the Prawn Provencal, then Carole had a bison cheese bocaccini salad while I tried the Grilled Ceasar - as strange as the prospect of a head of romaine tossed into the oven until singed might sound, it tastes absolutely out of this world. For the main course Carole had the grilled chicken while I had the stuffed chicken, then we shared a creme brule for desert. All of it was asolutely perfect.
Though laid back, it was a nice way to spend our special day.
