On June 19, Daniel and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary! We spent the day together as a family and the evening together, just the two of us. Craig and Bryn (our roommates for the summer) watched the kids for us so we could enjoy some time together. We decided to go to Old Town here in Fort Collins. Old Town is the fun downtown experience of Fort Collins with lots of little shops, food, live bands, art and beautiful landscaping! Cool fact about this area - Harper Goff, who created Disneyland's Main Street USA with Walt Disney, grew up in Fort Collins. Harper came back to Fort Collins in the 1950s to photograph the buildings of his youth to use as the model for the buildings along Disneyland's Main Street. It was neat to spend our evening surrounded by the feel of Disney! We started off with dinner at a 5 star Italian restaurant, Bisetti's. We had dinner in what they call the "cubby room" A little room just for 2 with candlelight, adjustable temperature, lighting, and music - pretty cool! Our dinner was delicious and it was the perfect time for us to talk about some of our favorite memories from our past year of marriage and to dream about our future together. I love Daniel more today than I ever have - it seems that our love grows for one another with each passing year. What will it be like when we're celebrating 30 years together, or even just 10?!
After dinner we went to a little place called The Chocolate Cafe, voted best dessert in Fort Collins. We sat at a romantic table out on the patio - it felt like we were in a movie! Daniel had chocolate peanut butter pie and I had the harvest apple creme brulee - so yummy!
After our taste buds were completely satisfied, Daniel took me to pick out some flowers (those of you that know me well know that I love flowers and to me, a celebration without flowers is no celebration at all). Later we took a walk through Old Town and ended our date night with a visit to Colorado State University's huge flower garden - yes, Daniel knows what I enjoy! We had an amazing time together. I love my hubby!
