Our anniversary fun continued on Saturday. Brandon actually had a test review that morning, so while he was gone I relaxed, did laundry, and showered. When I got out of the shower, I was met with a surprise...
One rose for one year...and some daisies to keep it company. Bran thought a single rose looked too lonely. :)
We spent the afternoon getting prettied up for our date night, then drove up to Salt Lake and caught a matinee movie at The Gateway Megaplex. We saw
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. It was totally silly...we had a great time looking at each other and laughing at the ridiculous parts. I think Bran wishes a cheeseburger would rain down from the sky every now and then. And ice cream snow?! That's my kind of winter precipitation.
After a little trouble getting out of the parking garage (Cash only and we had no cash. The best part? It cost $1. Haha.), we drove to The Joseph Smith Memorial Building to have dinner at The Roof Restaurant. It has GEORGEOUS views...
Nothing like a candle lit dinner with a perfect view of your wedding venue.
Plus, The Roof holds sentimental value for us. We ate there right after we were engaged June 20, 2008. It was an amazing experience that day--delicious food, romantic atmosphere, and excellent service. And our waiter took this sweet picture for us.
Unfortunately, we didn't have quite the same experience this time. While we enjoyed the gorgeous view, the music, and a few good eats, our waitress was not so great at waitress-ing...or operating a point-and-shoot camera, turns out. (So the only decent pictures we have are self taken--not the best, but oh well. Nothing we could do.) We tried to focus on the positive and not let the poor service put a damper on our celebration.
Unfortunately, our service was
so dissatisfactory, we have vowed to never go back...which is sad considering the happy memories we have there. But after talking it over, we came to the conclusion that it's not the place that makes the memory special, it's us.
So while we're disappointed at "losing" our sentimental place, we're just so happy to have each other forever. ♥
And it took me FOREVER to carve out my little bats. My hand was really hurting, but I stuck it out. :)
Now for our sweet, homemade costumes...
Mr. and Mrs. Incredible...we take down evil villains in our spare time.
The best part about these costumes? We wore clothes and gloves we already had, I made the insignias out of felt and reshaped pre-made plastic masks. Both our costumes cost under $5. That's pretty incredible. ;) And I always love homemade costumes the most.
