Most people envision their anniversary filled with romance, flowers, mushy I love you forever cards, swanky hotels, and candlelit dinners with champagne a'flowing. Being 5 months pregnant on our 2nd anniversary, Kevin and I did things a little differently this year.
We didn't really have the desire to spend a lot of money nor could we really go out for drinks. Instead, we invested our day together registering for our growing little girl. It was fun, browsing up and down the aisles of baby wonderland (aka Babies R Us) with a list and registry scanner in hand, thinking and dreaming of all the things our little girl can't live without.
What about this blanket? Oh, it's so soft!
Is a stroller with blue on it okay for a girl?
Won't this just look adorable on her?
After 3 hours (yes, THREE HOURS), 2 foot breaks for a tired mama and 94 items selected (and we're not even done...yikes!), we traded in our scanner for a much-deserved lunch break at Arawan Thai (conveniently located right across the parking lot). After stuffing ourselves to the brim, I took a nap and Kevin just relaxed. We made dinner plans to go to Fuji's Sushi & Grill. It's one of those places where they cook in front of you. Cheap entertainment. Not expensive or fancy but oh-so-good. For Pregs, as Kevin so lovingly calls me, it really hit the spot. Follow that with a thick slice of Original Cherry Cheescake at The Cheesecake Factory and you've got me crushing all over again. Seriously, giddy.
We didn't exchange cards. He didn't get me flowers. I didn't get him some small gift. And somehow, it was the best anniversary of them all. We simply spent time together and enjoyed each other's company. That's the best gift anyone can ask for.
