Celebrated 14 years of bliss today! We actually went on a little get-away last month for our anniversary, so we went low key tonight and hit Mimi's Cafe for dinner. It was an interesting dining experience. They were out of everything (including the ice cream in front of us - we're still trying to figure that one out), so we had to pick through the menu, getting turned down at way too many requests (truck delivers on Tues ya know?). Finally our food arrived only to have this very LOUD man stand up and demand everyone's attention. He was from some dog group/ kennel club or what not and they were holding a meeting in the middle of the restaurant. Everyone was told to stand and introduce themselves ("I'm Suzi, proud owner of 2 Boxers, etc.) I think there were 35 people there. It made for an extremely romantic anniversary dinner seeing how much Jer and I love dogs. But we did get invited back for free appetizers and dessert to compensate for our trouble and you know how we feel about free stuff so yipee yahooey!
After the dog fest (shoulda seen the cars and license plates in the parking lot as we left oh my!) we found D&B's. Jer smoked me on every game.
We came up short on tickets for the prize I wanted most - you guessed it - a D&B deck of cards. So Jer worked his anniversary magic with the prize lady and voila! This deck of cards is officially mine (I mean ours). We took many pics with these cards but I am unable to post one in particular because this church boy of mine was not being very churchy in it. Jer, thanks for the best 14 years! We've climbed mountains and lived to tell about it and I know I would not be around if it weren't for you. You are patient, calm, loyal (had to throw that one in for our dog night but it's really true), a studly athlete, game for just about anything, easy going, smart, and an amazing dad and hubby. Nothing ruffles your feathers. Your ability to clarify my special order at any restaurant is unmatched. You tolerate my grumpiness like no other. You are perfect for me in every way. I have no idea how I got so lucky.
I LOVE YOU!
Happy Anniversary!

I can't believe it's been 14 years!! I remember when you two were just starting to date. Jeromy lived with us. I was 17 I think, and he used to ask me for advice all the time on if he should try to kiss you or ask you for permission, etc. :) I felt so proud that my older cousing was asking me for advice. :) So, I guess I take partial credit for it all working out. ;)
You two ARE perfect together! Those Smith boys are amazing, aren't they!
You'll have to tell me more about the missing ice cream?!?
Happy Anniversary!
Happy Anniversary!! Sounds like quite a night of celebrating with lots of memorable experiences.
Happy Anniversary! You two truly are a great couple, and definitely meant for each other! I'm glad you were able to have a romantic getaway to Mimi's! Greg and I are celebrating 13 yrs this weekend. I think we'll give that place a try! :)
