Love and Marriage

It's our anniversary!!!  5 years. It seems like we've known each other for much longer though. In a good way.  It was that way when we just first met...it just seemed like home.  Ok, well, maybe not on the first date, but you get the picture.

The day was actually Friday, September the 20th  but we celebrated Saturday.

I was so worn out from a long week of teaching then meetings all day Friday for in-service and Stewart had a long week of classes and assignments.
So last night, we grabbed something and brought it home and ate while lounging and cuddling on the couch.  It was quite nice.

We debated over where to go eat.
There are several great choices in Downtown Memphis, but alas, we are homebodies and decided to go to Bonefish Grill at the Avenue Carriage Crossing in Collierville. (HOLY CRAP!!! everything I just typed just ERASED!!!  As I was freaking out, Stewart yelled out "hit Control Z!" and it worked. I got it all back...whew...see we were just meant for each other. now back to the blog)

Saturday was one of our 1st cool fall days so we thought it would be nice to walk around after we finished eating since it's an outdoor mall.

So, we spent a lot of Saturday just doing our own little projects.  Stewart went upstairs in his studio (just one of our extra bedrooms we converted to his art studio) to work on a school assignment and I spread out all my school stuff on the big table downstairs to work on some classroom posters and watched Hunger Games at the same time. (I CAN'T WAIT to see Catching Fire! I'm about to read all 3 of them over before I do) I eventually did my daily treadmill thing, then got ready and off we went.

I think Bonefish Grill is becoming our anniversary spot.
Everything from the atmosphere, to the service, to the food is just SO dang good!
We ordered chips with fresh chivche for our appetizer and they brought bread.
For our main dishes, I ordered the Maryland Crab Cakes with fresh veggies and pumpkin ravoili.
Oh. My. Goodness. Every bit of it was marvelous.

Stewart ordered Rainbow Trout and chose the Pan Asian sauce.  He gave me a few bites and it was fantastic.  The next time we go, I'm ordering something off the fresh catch of the day just so I can get the Pan Asian sauce.

I asked our waitress to take our picture and told her it was our Anniversary...she brought us a complimentary brownie!  It was covered in raspberry sauce and was topped with whipped cream. It was so yummy and RICH!

After dinner, we walked around the mall.  The weather was just perfect.  We spent a good bit of time in Barnes and Noble, then went back out and just meandered around before settling on one of the park benches and just sat and talked.  It was wonderful.  That is the best non-mall mall.  It feels like you're in a small town and everybody is out for the evening.  They have music playing from speakers that look like rocks.  There's even a town like square that you have to drive around just like in a small town.  It did not feel like we were still in Memphis at all.

True to Kellie and Stewart form, once we got home, we promptly changed into our pj's, poured ourselves a glass of wine and settled in front of the PlayStation and killed zombies together.
It was a perfect Anniversary night!  :D
