celebrating love...

friday and saturday, tony and i celebrated our love and 2 year dating anniversary by exchanging some gifts and eating the BEST food ever. we ate at bin 555. absolutely delicious. the restaurant was lovely. chill music, low lights, nice decor, perfect seating, and friendly service. we enjoyed some flat bread with the best butter i've ever tasted, yummy hummus, a delish salad with candied pecans, apple slices, goat cheese, mixed greens dressed with vinaigrette (tony had a cesar), seafood paella (THE BEST FLAVOR EVER), perfectly tendered and coated lamb, a yummy very spicy pizza, and some bread pudding. and how could i forget, a pitcher of sangria....soooo GOOD. the food portions were tapas style and it's definitely a place i would recommend to anyone. it was such a lovely and perfect evening. i gave tony tickets for us to see the blind boys of alabama at the magestic, a band that tony had raved so much about. he seemed very impressed with them and always mentioned that he wished we could see them. i'm looking very forward to enjoying that evening with him. in return i received some beautiful earrings, a teacher bookmark, some super comfy pjs, and the cutest teacher survival care package filled with my favorite jelly beans and other healthy and yummy snacks for work. plus the cutest pattern bird card:) it was such a lovely weekend. we also went to go pick out some glasses for me. funny fate, after we left eyemasters, i called home to see if everyone was there. we wanted to go visit since we were in the neighborhood and had a lot of time to spare till my glasses were ready. marisa told me that my mom and alayna were at target (right across from eyemasters) so tony and i went in to look for them. as soon as we were about to go in to target, they come walking out heading straight for us. talk about perfect timing! sunday i got to swim with my family. and even better, tomorrow is labor day. no school! i get to sleep in. does it get any better than this!?
