A great anniversary compromise...

us back in 1994...still newleyweds

at our 10 year anniversary...
poor Bill I made him take off his glasses...

15 years - we're starting to really age...


Someone was a little attached at the apron strings
and wouldn't let us leave him....



Bill and Lorrie, 2010!
New place... no hats but we get leis.. whoo-hooo!


Well we did get to go out of the house and we didn't end
up spending a fortune.

Solution... scale down
EVERYTHING!

We ditched our original babysitter (my youngest son's fav...)
with a girl in the youth group.... that saved money there.

We slip an entree since at Teppan houses you have lots of
appetizers free in the course of your meal anyway...
That saved money there...

and we switched restaurants all together!
Our old anniversary place out...
and the new cheaper, but newer with better food in!

After we left the restaurant we went to Barnes and Noble...
read mags and LEFT them there... well that was free...

and we came home with wood, sent the boys to bed
and enjoyed a fire!

It's nice to actually spend time with my hubby!
I forgot that hey...
he's really cool!

It was a great evening!
Blessings
