Five years already!

We celebrated our anniversary last weekend, five years. Josh had the whole weekend planned out and I have to say he did an excellent job. The day started by dropping Asher off at a friend's house and not picking up till the following day, he did a great job. Josh took me to the driving range and then to play a round of golf, I had never really golfed before, just putt putt and xbox games. He said that I impressed him by how straight I hit the ball instead of sending it into the trees, I did however manage to loose two balls in the water, :). We then headed down to Pearl street to grab some lunch at a total hippie, organic, vegetarian joint, I love those weird places. Next door we had an appointment to paint some pottery at Color Me Mine. After we had our beautiful creations finished, he whisked me away into the Boulder Canyon to get our room at The Alps, it's a little mountainy bed and breakfast type place. Dinner blew me away when we arrived at the Flagstaff House restaurant which has been featured on The Food Network for their amazing Colorado Lamb. The restaurant sits nustled on a cliff on the side of the mountain next to the flatirons.

We were scheduled for a five course tasting menu, which is smaller portions of the most gourmet food they make, and it actually turned out to be seven courses not five, we almost couldn't finish. This place was so amazing and so romantic, they treated us like royalty and it's the best tasting food I think I've ever had: Potato Crusted Alaskan Halibut over arugula, roasted peppers, nicoise olives, and ovendried tomatoes. Next: Rabbit Loin Pancetta wrapped and seared goat cheese agnolotti with roasted garlic sauce. Third: Colorado Lamb Loin and Braised Lamb Shank with italian white polenta, ratatouille vegetables, goat cheese and lamb jus. Oh, we're not done yet: Chef's selection of Artisan Cheeses with raisin walnut toast and candied pecans, not to mention the the flower display on the plate was all edible as well. The last one: (although there were two other dishes not listed on our menu) Pineapple Caramel Crunch in a martini glass.

Okay so after that, I thought our anniversary was over, but in the morning we went a jeweler to pick out a wedding band to go with my ring, and also to get my ring resized because it hasn't fit since having Asher and I've been wearing walmart rings. Josh revealed that he's been saving for a while so he could buy me a band to go with my already stunning ring. I am so excited about that.

Thanks, honey for an amazing anniversary, you totally outdid yourself and next year, I think it's my turn to plan it for you!!!
Thanks for marrying me and for loving me wholeheartedly and unconditionally for the last five years, many more babe!
