5th Anniversary

We celebrated our anniversary a little early this year. We has something else planned on our actual anniversary that we wanted to do, but just not for our anniversary. Does that make sense? Anyway we went to dinner at The Ranch in Las Colinas.

I know this doesn't look like a place you would want to go for an anniversary, but I'm not a fancy restaurant kind of person...unless it comes highly recommended by a trusted friend. I just can't shell out big bucks for "elf food" that I may not even like. After looking at the menu online, we decided that this would be a good place to go. It's a lot nicer than the usual restaurants we frequent which justified our special occasion. Anyway, the food was AWESOME! We got a sampler appetizer that's meant for 4, but we polished it off in about 5 minutes. I ate way too much, but didn't want anything to go to waste. By the way, the food there is all from Texas, right down to the goat cheese on my burger. And they have live music (Josh Ingram plays every Tuesday). Lane got the red fish and said it was delicious.

Lane planned our after dinner entertainment. He kept it a surprise until we were on our way. First he tried to tell me we were going to Medieval Times, to which I faked excitement. I did a pretty good job too because he believed I truly wanted to go there. Not that it would be a bad place to go. In fact I do want to see the new show they keep advertising, but I just don't want to do it on my anniversary. Luckily he knew better. Our real activity was to go on a gondola ride. It's an hour long ride through the canals of Las Colinas. It was a lot of fun. You get Ferrero Rocher chocolates and sparkling grape juice. We had a great time just relaxing on the water. Towards the very end, our gondolier busted out singing "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion. Right when she started Lane & I both had to hold in our laughter, but she actually had a really good voice. It sure beat the cheesy cd music she had on earlier. 

 Wish this picture wasn't blurry because it's the best one.

Kissing under the bridge

Sorry you have to see this last one, but I want it in my book :)

I can't believe we've been married 5 years! Every day Lane impresses me in some way. He is the most selfless person I know and I'm so lucky to have found him.
