The Date

*****Our 3rd Anniversary *****

Black is good. It's my friend. It disguises stuff.
And the lime and majenta together... that's thanks to a girl I used to work with. I stole her idea She taught me to wear lots of corresponding bright colours together.

So they made us sign a contract that said we had to follow all the directions, do everything, and not kill verbal abuse them for being creative pains-in-the-rear. I signed. Matt did too, but he signed "J. Edgar Hoover". I thought I married Matthew Sams... hmmm....

They gave us a group of envelopes - with numbers. It's was totally "Amazing Race - The Date" and we headed off for our first destination. We went to a park, read the Bible together, had a minor disagreement about what it meant, and then went into town. The disagreement wasn't a part of the date. We were supposed to swing on the swings, and be "childish", but forgive me - there were parents there. And as a parent, I'm always a big peeved with the "big kids" or teenagers who come over and take the equiptment away from MY kid. So I refused to do that.

In town we had some food, bought $2 store presents for each other, told someone it was our anniversary, and skipped over the whole "dance in the Rose Gardens to the iPod hooked to speakers" thing. Yeaaaah... take the poll on the side bar regarding THAT one. :)

*Matt gave me a coffee cup that had "Romantic" written all over it and a pic of some cutie-kids.
*I gave Matt a bumper sticker that said, "Work is for people who don't know how to play golf". It made him laugh, so I was happy. I told him to put it up at work and he asked if that meant he was bad at golf...
He's not - for the record.

It was a great evening, but cold! :) It was really cool to spend some time together, minus Oceana. Love the baby to pieces, but we are almost strictly parents when we have her around - so it's nice to act unbabyattached for a few minutes.

That was THE DATE. Pretty sweet, huh?
