Happy 6th Anniversary Sweetheart!


Dec 9, 2006 ... when we pledged our love for one another and our life long commitment!

Dec 7, 2012 ... when we celebrated our 6 years of marriage!

One of the fun things we enjoy to do together as a couple is try new restaurants!  We aren't talking new chair restaurants, or the newest Bob Evans ... we are talking, unique, eclectic restaurants with ethnic foods!  The day before our anniversary, we found about about an awesome Turkish restaurant downtown near Eli Lilly called Bosphorus Istanbul Cafe through a Living Social deal.  (Living Social is like Groupon).  We paid $12 and were able to order $25 worth of food!  (Of course, we couldn't stop at $25! Ha!)

The atmosphere was incredible as it was an old restored house.  There were no more than probably 20 tables in the whole restaurant.  The decor was native to the Turkey area.  Many of our friends raved about it ... so we took the plunge and SO GLAD we did!

STARVING!!

We ordered an appetizer of Babaganush.  It is broiled eggplant mixed with tahini and parsley! It was rather unique, but quite tasty!

I ordered the spinach chicken and Nate ordered the lamb kabobs!

Loved the asparagus spears in the chicken which was PERFECTLY cooked!! Amazing!  

Nate's lamb was INCREDIBLE as well!!  The rice, veggies, and salad were all very tasty!

Last year we celebrated with Moroccan food!  Turkish food this year!  Do you have any suggestions for next year?  Please comment and let us know!!

How do you celebrate your anniversary?

Happy Birthday Hubby!

To celebrate Nate's 37th birthday, we headed for a few day vacation with only 1 kid in tow to Chicago!  You can guess which kid we took this time??  (Having a hard time, check out the pictures below! hehe!)

I was able to Priceline the Palmer House Hilton (4-star) hotel for $100/night!)  Woot Woot!!  We were so pleased with the hotel.  We felt like it was way out of our league!!  We spent the majority of Friday (which was beautiful) walking around downtown Chicago.  Believe me, I was pooped by the end of the day!  We would stop, read our books, relax, people watch, then start walking again.  Oh yeah, and it gave this preggo-mama a much needed resting break!

We ate at this tiny little hole-in-the-wall Hot Wok Cool Sushi across from the park!  It was so beautiful inside and we had authentic Pad Thai!  Ahhhhhhhh, it tasted so good!!  If the cheesecake factory would have been closer, we would have walked there for dessert, but I just couldn't make it any further!!



Large and in charge baby!!

The huge buildings make my belly look smaller!  Whew!

THE MOST AMAZING BFAST SPOT EVER!!! 

We got the chance to meet up with our friends Chad and Leslie!  They brought they lil' sweet pea Adelynn

A picture of the birthday boy on his 37th birthday!

Now who is in charge?

Nate asked me to bake him FROM SCRATCH a Gluten-Free Dk Choc Rasp cake with homemade choc icing!  Can't wait for him to get home so we can try it!! 

What kind of vacations do you like to take with your hubby sans the kiddos that are economical?
