Today Chad and I celebrated our 14th anniversary! I wanted to make some joke about it feeling so much longer, but really it hasn't. Time has flown by (except at the movie tonight). ;) Chad and I still love hanging out together...he is my best friend and I am so grateful we are a team.
Chad gets major kudos in the husband gift giving department. A couple weeks ago, I saw a lady w/ a super cute purse and I asked her where she got it. I haven't thought about it again until....I opened up the same purse this morning! How great is he that he totally took note of that. He always listens and observes so well when he's planning something for me. He is so sweet about it. He loves surprising and spoiling me (and I love it, too!) Thank you Chad! :)
Chad made reservations at Epic, a great restaurant in Fort Union. They have the most delicious flat bread; we had one with dried cranberry English cheddar, grilled chicken and a parsley aioli. The salads are just as delicious. We tried one with grilled poblano chili, mango and a white basalmic vinaigrette. For our entrees, Chad had a shrimp pasta dish with a ginger soy and pineapple sauce. I tried the marlin with a 3 olive and tomato sauce. Are you hungry yet? We've eaten here once before and liked it even better the second time around. Mmmmm!!
We then headed to the movie. We were looking forward to seeing Batman, BUT we had to get some dessert first. We went to Marble Slab to get our favorite ice cream. For any Coldstone fans our there, Marble Slab is much better. More choices, better ice cream. The ice cream is so good, I don't even get the mix-ins! By far, my favorite is the the coconut.
It was such a wonderful night. 5 consecutive hours together, uninterrupted by kids and responsibilities; I can't think of anything better. Thank you Chad!! Happy Anniversary...I look forward to infinity more with you!

OHHH! Happy Anniversary you guys! I remember your reception and you two look the same, cute and in love! I hope there are many, many, more years to come.
Oh... and I saw Erin at church this past week. She was blessing her new little one. So Cute!
New haircut? I like it, Julie. And I LOVE your purse. Is it Orla Kiely? I will need to be much more explicit with my hubby if I expect to get such a cool gift. Maybe I'll have to find a link for him online. And then tell his assistant to order it for him to give to me :)
Happy Anniversary you two.
Happy Anniversary! Glad you had fun. I never trust Todd to get me stuff - Good for Chad!!
Congrats on 14 years...looks like a fun evening. Love your new hair style...cute,cute,cute!
Rachel...yep, it's Orla Kiely! I loove it! It seems like it will be super sturdy, too...not one of those purses you're afraid to use! If you go to the main website, I believe they had some on sale.
First of all - I LOVE LOVE LOVE you hair...its DARLING! And yes, Chad takes the prize for husband with the BEST gift-giving record! He rocks!
Sounds like you guys had a GREAT night out on the town! You guys are about one of our all time favorite couples!
