So Paul surprised me with a wonderful dinner last night at Seattle's own Chez Shea. And, seriously, OMG, it was amazing. He totally took one for the team by taking me to a fancy French restaurant because, let's be honest, he had to eat another dinner after we got home just so he wouldn't pass out from hunger. But I loved it. And he said that made it totally worth while.
If you haven't been to Chez Shea, GO. NOW. seriously. What are you waiting for? Get off your chair and make a ressy now for tonight. SO GOOD. the mood, music, atmosphere, food, staff, all was amazing. I decided it's our new spot.
Pictures will come for sure, after I get them uploaded from Paul's camera...which I forgot today.
Also, we exchanged presents after dinner, and we both totally scored!
I got the 8 piece All-clad Limited Edition set you see above (it's annodized, and they're only making a limited number of those sets, so I'm super lucky to have it!). I'm drooling just THINKING about what I'll make first. This cookware will last me a lifetime, so I'll never have to buy pots or pans again.

(This is what it will look like on the focus....I just googled "Thule roof rack on Focus," and this is what came up, which is weird, because it's exactly Paul's car, color and all)
After many, many months of trying to source that s**#&^, I finally broke down and bought it all from REI. The upshot of course being that they'll install it and if anything goes wrong, we can bring it back there. He's stoked for using it this summer for camping (think roof box), and this winter for skiing (he can now take 3 friends, put all 4 sets of skis on the roof and everything else in the trunk!)
So, yay for both of us. We had a great time, and I think as each year passes, and we continue to grow up, and grow together, our life together continues to get better and better. We are so very lucky!
I love love!
(Okay, enough of the barfy mushy talk. I'm done now. Thanks for listening!)
Happy Anniversary! You two are so adorable. (Have I already told you how fabulous your hair is?) We took our parents to Chez Shea when they were visiting. I love the space - one of the best in the city for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the photo of the car, I thought you had gotten Paul a car!!! And I was all, "Dang, that's some anniversary present." :)
Have a great weekend. Continue celebrating!
Alek, I'm dying of laughter, I wish I had enough money to buy a new car, but Paul's car is pretty new anyway, so I don't feel that bad! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, as always! I'll take lots of pictures in Vegas this weekend and post about all the bad design I see, once I return!
