He surprised me with reservations at IndeBlu- a local Indian restaurant I've had my eye on for months.
A bottle of Pinot, live jazz music and amazing vegan friendly meals made for a perfect, wonderful celebration. Over dinner I asked Mike what the high point of this past year had been and without hesitation he said, "buying the house and getting a dog." It has been a wild year with lots of ups and lots of downs but we accomplished two goals that we've had for as long as we've known each other- we have a place to call home and a dog to love. These things among so many others make us extremely blessed.
On my way home from work I stopped at Goodwill hoping to find a cheesy little gift but instead found the exact frame I had dreamed up (here) for the artwork in the kitchen.
It looked old but the tag on back from HomeGoods said otherwise. It is a bit worn but has the funky character I was looking for.
After removing a ton of staples I replaced the print and now I have this beauty...
A little decorating, an amazing dinner and another year together=fabulous.
