So today is our anniversary, but yesterday I surprised Kraig with a romantic dinner. Here's how it played out:

Kraig worked from 4-8:30, so while he was gone I got everything ready. I put his tuxedo, shoes, gel (to get rid of work hat hair) and cologne out in the garage with a note pinned to it that read, "Ready for this? Put this on and knock the door when you're ready." I also left him a single red rose which is what he did when he proposed (the first time). I was waiting on the other side of the door in my fancy dress in a spotless house, lit with candles.

We had a romantic candle lit dinner. Since our lives revolve around food, here was our menu:

Appetizer--Spinach artichoke bruschetta (there were more of them. I forgot to take the photo before we started eating)

Salad--Roasted onion and blue cheese in a baked shell with a white wine vinegar and shallot dressing

Entree--Chicken with Alfredo cream sauce over Farfalle, garnished with sauteed mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes. Served with steamed broccoli.

Dessert--strawberry hearts and lime sherbet with vanilla ice cream in frozen lime peel cups.

After dinner we danced to our wedding CD and reminisced with our wedding album. It was a perfect evening.

Here's one more non-flash photo to capture a little more of the ambiance of the evening. It really was perfect.
