Happy 2 Year Anniversary to Us!

Yesterday, June 30th, was our 2 Year Wedding Anniversary! We cannot believe how fast time flies by - it is kind of scary how quickly years come and go when you start getting older. We are also getting closer and closer to the big 30! Shhhhh - keep that hush hush ;)

I do apologize for this picture-less post - but I just had to share our little story last night...

We had a pretty un-eventful day - both of us working - but we decided to go to Colonial, one of our favorite steakhouses in Pine Bluff, AR. It is simply amazing! We got there around 6:30 pm and we walked in the door and it was pitch black. We looked around and finally saw the owner walking our way. He apologized and promised he paid his electric bill this month (he is such a jokester! haha) and said he would be happy to sit us, and that they were promised the electricity would be back on in 10-15 minutes. We, of course, sat down because it is a 45 minute drive to PB and also, we cannot pass up a chance to have one of our favorite meals just because of a minor issue. :)

So, we sat down and there were only two other couples in the restaurant. We had 3 candles on our table and the back and front doors were opened to create a nice breeze. It was actually cool because of the rain so thank goodness for that - because it is summer and we are in Arkansas!
You know, we actually had a lovely time - it was very romantic because of the dark room with the candles as the only light. It was quiet - no noise from the air conditioning, and people kept their conversations to a low whisper and all we could hear was the rain drops bouncing off the concrete outside. It was peaceful, relaxing, and an escape from the daily noise that surrounds all of us whether it be at work, at home, or just background noise. We enjoyed our salads, steaks and baked potatoes (thank God for gas cooking!) with peaceful surroundings. Also, I might add that Colonial Restaurant is inside of an old school house and we imagined what it would have been like a long time ago when there was not air conditioning and all the noises that we hear now.

I don't know why that happened - and I typically do not believe in coincidences. Nevertheless, it was a great night and we enjoyed it so much!

We got home and went through all of our Wedding cards, programs, invitations, and all the items I saved that had to do with our engagement and wedding. We even read through my journal I have starting from the day we started "going out". It was hilarious and we laughed so hard reading my journal entries. We are so blessed to have found each other and we feel lucky that God brought us together for us to share our lives with one another.

2 fabulous years down... and many many more to go! :)
