8 Year Anniversary

Well, November 18th was our 8 year anniversary together. Although we've only been married for 5 months, the 18th was the date that I took Darcie out for lunch at the Han Mongolian BBQ restaurant. It was the first thing we ever did together. We can't believe its been 8 years now. We decided to relax and go to a used book store and see if we could find anything interesting to read. It was near downtown. It was fun going to an obscure used book store and searching for a good book. Darcie managed to find a couple of good ones. Near the bookstore, there was a really big discount store called Honest Ed's World Famous Shopping Center so we decided to check it out too. It was in a big, old building and took up an entire block. You could tell it hadn't changed much since they opened. It's got flashing red and yellow lights outdoors and indoors with signs that say "don't just stand there, buy something!" The store has a deal on everything like housewares, carpets, clothing, food, etc. It felt like we'd stepped back in time for a bit. We bought a salad spinner.
Then we went out for dinner. We went to the Outback Steakhouse. We decided we wanted to eat there for dinner many weeks beforehand so we'd been looking forward to it for so long. We hadn't been there since we went to one with Bruce in Puerto Vallarta and we both remember the food being soooo good. I got a bbq'd chicken breast with mashed potatoes and vegetables and their bbq sauce was just like I remembered. It was really good. Darcie got a platter diner so she got ribs and bbq'd chicken. We were both full and satisfied when we were finished. Sorry we didn't get any pictures to post. We forgot to take the camera with us.
