Four
Tomorrow is our four year anniversary. Guess what we are doing? Baptism class. Woo hoo!
Actually, we have spent a lot of time discussing our anniversary, as it is a perfectly legitimate excuse to stash the kid with the grandparents and go out for a bit of fun. Since we are old and boring, fun usually consists of 1) eating too much at an Italian (if I pick) or sushi (if Phillip picks) restaurant, 2) three Daily Shows in a row, 3) buying something horribly expensive like gadgets (if Phillip picks) or decorative household items (if I pick), or 4) discussing our various work-ish projects, all of which involve computers and software programs and if anything I have become more like my husband over the past four years (technonerd) than he has become like me (obsessive cable news watcher).
We decided to stash the kid with my parents which means going out in their town. Which is not a town so much as a giant mall with some houses speckled around the outskirts of the parking lot. Our dinner choices include Red Robin, TGI Fridays and the Ram. (I hear you East Coasters do not have Red Robin. I weep for you, since you have not beheld the holiness of the Red Robin steak fry dipped in delicious Red Robin ranch dressing. Oh, divinity!)
We're also thinking we might see a movie. You'd think, what with this being our first big chance to Go Out, we'd choose something worthy. Like A Mighty Heart which a friend of mine raved about and then, at the end of her raving, said: "I THINK it's a true story!" But no, Phillip and I want to see Knocked Up. Because we are fourteen. And one of us happens to be in love with Paul Rudd.
Wait! This is an anniversary post! What is this Paul Rudd nonsense? Who needs Paul Rudd when one is married to the Devastatingly Handsome Chinese Man?
In this picture he is thinking about how much he misses me.
In this picture he is thinking, "Gee, these chips are the best birthday present ever and I'd definitely share them with Maggie if she were at all a devotee of the Lays Potato Chip like myself."
(I am not a fan of the Lays Potato Chip, aka Fried Salt.)
In this picture he is wondering why he's dating a girl with such an awful haircut. Oh right, it's because she's AWESOME.
In this picture he is wondering why the hell he is holed up in a fricking SNOW CAVE with this scruffy guy when he could be toasty and warm in his apartment watching TV with his awesome girlfriend.
In this picture he is thinking, "I asked her to marry me and she said yes. OHMYGODWHATISGOINGTOHAPPENTOMYPERFECTLYPLANNEDOUTLIFE?!"
In this picture he is thinking, "This is what happened. It's pretty cool."

Happy anniversary!
And, funnily enough, tomorrow is our anniversary too. It'll be 11 years for us.

Happy Anniversary!! I don't think his life could have turned out any better. Who wouldn't want a wife who loves to make sugary confections, who can drink copious amounts of wine and who gave birth to the cutest baby boy ever in the Seattle area? No, I think Phillip(God) chose very well.
Not to say that Phillip is God, but that God put you two, oh, never mind. You get it!
P.S. I had to say the Seattle area because my friends baby in Phoenix is pretty darn cute too. Just spreading the love everywhere cute baby boys are.

You two will be in my prayers today. And, might I just say that the Devastatingly Handsome Chinese Man is married to a Stunningly Gorgeous Woman? Because, seriously, that hair, those eyes and that smile? GORGEOUS.
Happy anniversary, Stunningly Gorgeous Woman & Devastatingly Handsome Chinese Man!! :o)

Hey. Congratulations, Dude. Maybe I'll get you a card and forget to give it to you, and it will end up sitting on our coffee table.

Oh my goodness, I've never noticed how beautiful your eyes are--in the picture where Phillip is lamenting the end of his bachelor existence they are so piercing!!
Hope you enjoyed your anniversary evening :)

Happy Anniversary! God is good, isn't He? Who else would give such good gifts as a DHCM and the cutest baby boy in the greater Seattle region?? (I, too, have to reserve some cute props for baby boys i know around Philly (c:). Hope your day and your date were very special!

Happy (Belated) Anniversary Maggie and Phil! Love you two. : *
You're anniversary date is one that I could never forget, given it coincides with a significant date in my life. ; )
And, yes, please mourn for me. I do not have access to a Red Robin wherein I can dip steak fries in the divine Red Robin honey mustard dressing. Sooo yummy!
