A Great Anniversary Date!

So this is a little late, but just wanted to let everyone know about our fun date on our anniversary. I planned a whole evening for Mike and I to go on an adventure. We started out at our house and he opened up his card, which had a clue in it to start off his anniversary scavenger hunt. That took us to the Santa Clarita pool where we played as kids, but never actually met. His present there was two pairs of awesome boardshorts. Then his next clue took him to Saugus High School where we met when I was in 9th grade, he was in the 10th. We walked around the campus for a few minutes and then he opened up his next present and clue, which was a little book about teachers and a gift certificate for Barnes and Noble. The clue led him to my house that I grew up at, on Cabrera Avenue. His gift there was a book on guitars and how to play. His next clue took him to Olive Garden, where we shared our first date about 9 years ago. It was at the Northridge Olive Garden, but I cheated and had him go to our new one here. Instead of eating dinner here, I had on order two pieces of tiramisu, our favorite dessert! His next clue led him to Grace Baptist's ampitheatre where Mike proposed to me on October 14, 2000. Here we took a picture with our timer on our camera and it turned out pretty cute!

Then we headed over to Kisho, our favorite restaurant, and where we announced our engagement to both of our families. After an incredible dinner, Mike's last clue led him to the Haven House chapel where we were married April 28, 2001! I packed up our wine bag and had Mike's last present in there, which were a pair of shamrock cuff links and a nice poem. All in all, the night was so much fun, a great time to walk down memory lane and remember all the special places in our relationship. And a thanks goes out to my mom for watching Cole and letting us have a few hours to ourselves!
