March 13th marked the 5th year hubby and I have been married. There weren't any fancy big surprises this year but what lacked in surprises we made up in life events. This anniversary we found ourselves with a baby! And everyone knows that when you have a new baby, your life is over...just kidding, but it is true, your way of life completely changes.
Thank goodness we have some really good friends who offered their babysitting services so we were able to go out to dinner to celebrate our milestone anniversary. I made reservations at Cliff's Edge in Silver Lake. I had never been there before but it was on my list of places to try as one of my friends said he and his wife go there all the time and had suggested I would like it.
Well he was right. The atmosphere was awesome. Built around a large tree, it was sort of like eating in a treehouse but a fancy one. It was nice having a few hours to ourselves to have some adult conversation. We reflected on what we have done these past five years and wondered where we will be in the next five. Overall, we had a very pleasant first night out. The food was really enjoyable especially the dessert which was some kind of Carmel goodness whose unique name alludes me right now.
On our actual anniversary another set of friends came over to watch Penny so we could go out to have a nice French dinner. We discussed how grateful we were to have such good friends who are able to watch Penny in lieu of having any close relatives around.
This year's anniversary present I had to choose from wood (modern) or silverware (traditional) so I got hubby a shaver with a wooden handle made of wood from Hawaii. Penny got her Daddy a set of wood blocks with robots on them. She can't wait to play with them with Daddy!
