Anniversary Date | Merry Christmas

Tony and packed Isaac up to my in-laws for the evening last Thursday, so that we could dine in peace at Azia. Levi had given me a gift card for Christmas and with the news that Azia would soon be closing, we felt that our anniversary was just as good a time as any to use it!

We started out with some edamame, which apparently Tony had never eaten before!

There were all sorts of questions from him, like do I eat the shell? Why don't they call them soybeans? Are they good?

Despite this face, he really liked them though.


He uh, didn't appreciate my use of the camera after the above picture though. A swig of beer helped him get over it.


Next up, we tried the cranberry wontons. I'd had them before and knew they were good, but again Tony was skeptical.


Clearly, he was won over.


We then opened our cards and I was apparently a bad wife who did not get Tony a present.


Tony planned a weekend to coordinate with my alumni game so that we can go on a trail ride in Fairfax and then eat at a super fancy restaurant in my old college town!

*Unfortunately he didn't see a Friday wedding on the schedule and we may need to reschedule. :(

We had some great conversations, some sad topics and all around reflection while at dinner.

*Not staged which is why I love it so very much.

No idea what in the world we're discussing here!


It's amazing to me how much we've changed and yet how much our love remains. As I wrote on Tony's facebook anniversary post [lol, why is that even important?] "Every year brings another adventure. :) Love holding your hand through it all, even when I don't let you hold my hand.


All in all, a fantastic evening spent with my love. To top it off, when we picked up Isaac he did his happy toddler dance which just makes us feel like the coolest people ever! :)
