More Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to my beautiful bride! She got to make a post before I did this morning - so I will finish up the day with my thoughts. I really cannot believe that it has been 19 years since that wonderful day in Mesquite, Texas. We have had so much fun and experiences together - way more than I could have ever imagined. We have enjoyed raising our boys and still are having a blast!

Tonight, I surprised her with reservations at The Melting Pot in downtown Austin instead of buying gifts. (Well, I did buy flowers earlier in the day.) It was our first experience at this great restaurant. From valet parking to a 2.5 hour meal, it was a wonderful evening together. We had "Cupid's Combination!" It started with a Tomato Basil Cheese fondue with bread cubes, carrots, celery, cauliflower, and granny smith apples to dip in it. Then we had a great Heart of Palm salad. Our meat selections were chicken, lobster tail, shrimp, pork, and much more cooked in the Mojo flavor. Then the fourth and final course, a "Snickers" chocolate fondue with all kinds of tasty dipping items (strawberries, bananas, cheesecake, rice crispy squares, marshmallows, pound cake, and brownies - very small pieces of course!)

Now, another great year together ahead... I love you, Karla!
