Marvelous Anniversary Date at Seasons 52

Friday night I came home to a freshly groomed puppy, Ryan, and daisies – a marvelous sight!

Ryan buys me flowers frequently [cue the awww's] – they’re my favorite – so I didn’t think much of it until I saw that there was also a card…

6-Month Anniversary Card

A super sappy, super sweet card with a marvelous P.S. message at the bottom…

I was totally surprised!  Ryan and I haven’t gone out for a date night in a while [between my tummy troubles and trying to save money, we've kept date nights low-key at home] so we both thought that we should do something special to celebrate our 6-month wedding anniversary but we hadn’t made any plans…  Or so I thought ;)

Saturday morning Ryan woke-up to a marvelously super corny card – the back said “At least I didn’t have the cabbage!”…

6-Month Anniversary Card 2

And…

She gets flowers, he gets a 40, they’re one in the same!  I should note that he doesn’t typically drink 40′s but it was a special occasion so a special beer, “The Champagne of Beers,” was only appropriate!

Thanks Katie for hosting another marvelous link-up!
After a marvelous afternoon which included a lunch date, an easy workout, and watching Dazed and Confused, we spruced up and headed to one of our favorite restaurants, Seasons 52!

As you can see, the pictures are a bit fuzzy because it was dark and I was using my iPhone, but we have plenty of marvelous memories…

We were planning to cap off our marvelous evening with some fro-yo at the newly opened joint just down the street from our house, but it was closed by the time we got there so we settled for TJ’s fro-yo + dark chocolate chips – a tasty improvisation.

P.S.  Y’all are probably tired of these Harlem Shake videos but I’ve got just one more…

  23. Allison, you two are gorgeous!! What a lovely anniversary date. I think it’s wonderful you two decided to celebrate with a night out instead of staying in.. however, date nights @ home are wonderful too. It’s just nice to get out from time to time :)

  24. Sounds like the perfect anniversary date- good company + good food is always a winning combo :) ! I’ve never been to Seasons 52 but am almost certain I would love it…flatbread followed by fillet mignon and then a PB-based dessert, each course just got better and better! One marvellous thing from my weekend was the burger I ate on Saturday night- just thinking about me makes me drool ;)

  25. Happy belated anniversary! That dinner looks like such a nice way to celebrate. I would have been all over that artichoke and goat cheese flatbread. Yum!!!

    I’ve never been to Seasons 52… I wish we had them here in Canada. Every dish of theirs I’ve seen on blogs always looks amazing!

    Something marvelous about my weekend was going out for tea with a friend. :)

  26. This looks amazing…all of it! I wish they’d build a seasons 52 closer to here

    Happy 6 months, you lovebirds!

  28. I think my BF and I would have fit in perfectly at your anniversary.. The guys could have shared the Miller High Life (his fave) and we could have shared the Chocolate PB Mousse! Heck, we would have just ordered two and savored the bites together :)

  29. Love Seasons 52!! Happy anniversary :)

  30. Daisies are my absolute favorite. :) Very beautiful!!
    Happy Anniversary!
