Happy Anniversary & Happy Birthday!

Mike & I celebrated 3 years of marriage on August 28th. It's amazing how a baby changes things! Our 1st anniversary, we went to Chicago for the night and spent a wonderful evening downtown & had dinner on the Spirit of Chicago dinner cruise. Our second anniversary we had a 12 week old baby! Andrew had his first sleepover @ Grandma & Grandpa's, and Mike and I went to a nice dinner & a show. This year, we went to Chili's with a cranky 1 year old! Next year we'll have to do a little something special!!

For my birthday (29...the age I'll be for the rest of my life!!) we tried unsuccessfully to get a babysitter. We decided to go to dinner anyway, and went to a new restaurant called Urban Grille in Geneva. The food was excellent!! However, the service was terrible. I would definitely go back without a baby! It took us over an hour to get our food. We knew when we sat down it was going to be slow, so we ordered an appetizer so Andrew could have something to eat. They forgot to bring it! The appetizer makes ordinary fries seem lame....french fries w/ garlic butter sauce & parmesan cheese...mmm!!! After we got home from dinner, our friends Bart & Nicole came over for a night cap & we had some very exciting conversation! We sat outside with a fire & talked...it was a wonderful evening. Next year is the big 3-0....uh oh! I'm already dreading it!

Congrats on FINALLY turning 29 and on your 3 year anniversary! It's so hard to believe that was three years ago. It seems like yesterday! It was such a beautiful wedding/reception and we were glad we could be there. I'm glad you at least got out to celebrate, even if it was at Chili's!
