4 Years!
On Friday, Kevin and I celebrated 4 years together! We alternate who plans the anniversary, so it's not always Kevin taking me out, because it's for both of us, why should he always pay?!
Our first anniversary, Kevin surprised me with dinner at Mountain Lake! My favorite movie, Dirty Dancing, was filmed there and I absolutely love the area, it's so gorgeous! The picture was taken when we were standing in the gazebo where many scenes of Dirty Dancing were shot! It was awesome! When we were there, a couple in the table behind us got engaged. Aww.
For our second anniversary,
I took us to Bookbinders. A nice restaurant in Christiansburg. And when I say nice, we had $30 steaks! I think it is now called Blackstone Grill. It was really good though, I highly recommend it! Just be prepared for a pricey check.
For year three, Kevin surprised me (note that Kevin surprises me, but I never surprise Kevin! I'm so bad at that!) with brunch at Chateau Morrisette and a wine tasting! I'd always wanted to go, so I was super excited that he was taking me! The picture is actually from when we went to a chocolate/wine pairing for Valentine's Day after our three year anniversary, but I happened to not have a picture of us on the actual day. Which is surprising since I always take pictures! I do have some picture of the Chateau from that day, but just not us! Damn!
This year! We went to the Summit in Christiansburg, which is a big house up on a hill. Very fancy! I had bought a dress and a cute little hat for the occasion. Dawn even came over to the condo and curled my hair for me! They gave us so much food, we were both nearly comatose when we got back to the condo. We decided to watch Dirty Dancing, since it is my favorite, and because Patrick Swayze died earlier that week. Here is us from Friday (finally getting to celebrate our anniversary, on our actual anniversary!):
Now it's up to Kevin to figure out what we're going to do for the big 5 year anniversary next year! So happy it'll be on a Saturday, too! :D
