30 years--who knew?

We thought that it was very fitting that we would celebrate 30 years of marriage soon after our son got married. He married on Aug. 1, and our anniversary was on Aug. 11. Of course, we had no money because of the wedding expenses, so gifts were not an option. This fact bothered David a whole lot more than it bothered me.

David took our change jar and cashed it in. We had enough to buy gas and a nice meal, with a little left over. We chose Macaroni Grill. We had been there before, but it had been quite a few years.

David got pork chops with a balsamic glaze, broccoli, and risotto, and I got the trio--a sample of chicken Parmesan (THE BEST), lasagna, and chicken cannelloni. It was all delicious. We did not tell our waiter until the end of the meal that it was our 30th anniversary. He brought me a flower (I think it was a gladiola or something like it) and David a chocolate cake dessert. We had it the next day, and it was really rich and delicious.

Overall, it was a wonderful 30th anniversary, and I love David more than I did way back then.
