We celebrated today very simply because I was not feeling too well. Alex gave me two white roses in a bouquet of baby's breath and a very sweet card. He made me breakfast and we relaxed all morning and afternoon watching movies and playing games. For dinner we drove to Cheesecake Factory and got a couple pieces to take home and then dinner take-out from Macaroni Grill. We took Arrow Hwy. all the way to the mall just for the ride and listened to our Third Eye Blind CD. I couldn't help but feel such emotion for the day. I remembered our first "big date" to the Third Eye Blind concert in San Francisco in March '07 and how I felt that night. Nervous, excited, I felt like I was in a dream. It was such a fun night! One of my favorite bands, in San Francisco, one of my favorite cities with a date who treated me so well and whom I could tell cared so much for me so early on. Every song on their self titled CD makes me think of that concert. In fact I just looked it up on YouTube and found it. I know that Alex and I are in that crowd singing along. Our first date is somewhat preserved and I can't help but want to jump into the screen again and relive those feelings in real time again. Ahhh, such a great memory.
As we were on our drive tonight I couldn't help but think about how blessed I was to get everything I ever wanted when I least, and I mean least, expected it! I could have never dreamed that Alex and I would get married and go onto be what we are today. Our life isn't perfect and it's not all diamonds and jewels but it is worth so much more than that. I am so proud of us, so proud of our accomplishments and our love for each other.
So tonight as we celebrate with take-out and our favorite music I am reminded of how much I have to be thankful for, how much we have to be thankful for. We have so much ahead of us, our future is so bright and the best thing is knowing that even if there come a few dark days we will walk through them together, always.
