Happy 7th Anniversary to Us!

Can you believe it's already been 7 years since our Las Vegas Wedding? Sean and I dined in Lake Jackson to celebrate the special occasion while Mom watched our trio at home. We went for the usual fave of ours- italian. Johnnie Carino's and it was good. However, it didn't have Sean's fave linguine w/ white clam sauce and my crave for shrimp scampi but it was nice. It was a bit awkward dining just the two of us, as we've gotten so use to our usual "party-of-5".

Last night, we ALL dined out for a change, at Ryan's (similar to HomeTown Buffet) and are getting use to now having to wait for a table because of our now, "Party-of-Eight" family count. It is an experience in itself lately going out to dinner w/ our large group, but mighty fun- considering CJ's funny table manners, Alyssa's never-ending eating habit, and Kyra's drama shows. (No extra entertainment needed on our outings- LOL)

It was funny when we got to the italian restaurant. There was no hostess to greet us right way so we assumed that "you help yourself" since menus were right at the door, so that's just what we did! We grabbed one of each menu and started looking for our table. Then, the hostess came out apologizing as she was sitting another couple ahead of us. (must be new like us) so it was quite embarressing at first. So not everything here in Texas is DIY style. But then it seemed as if everyone was observing us as if were on our very first date! Even our waitress seemed a bit too nosey at times around us.

I guess us not spending enough quality time together alone, is starting to show. LOL Either that or we just look too obvious "out-of-towners".

FYI- Copper is traditionally symbollic for "7 years"
