May 5th was our big 3rd wedding anniversary! We celebrated with a few margaritas that night (which was on a Wednesday) but we saved the real celebration for Friday night.
We got a babysitter. We wore clothes that weren't covered in slobber. We went out for a nice dinner.
It was a lot of fun - we went to a little restaurant in Nashville called Rumba - a satay/tapas place with lots of fun trendy food and cocktails. We did it up right and got drinks, appetizers, entrees, and dessert! It is so nice to go out every once in awhile and just splurge - order whatever you want without even looking at the price tag. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and soaked up every second of our much needed "date night".
For our big day, Andie got me a new lens for the camera!!!! BEST GIFT EVER!!! I'm so excited about it. It came in the mail late yesterday afternoon, so today has been my first day of experimentation with it. I'm in love already! It is a 50mm lens/f1.8 (thanks for the recommendation, Allison!!).
I've been snapping some shots this morning indoors with low lighting - and I've been able to do so without using the flash! Hallelujah!
Here are some shots:
(look at that super, super blurry background - love it!)
(this photo is kinda weird because he's chewing on a hair, but check out those baby blues!)
(no flash, crisp Luke, blurry background)
(no flash, crisp Luke, blurry background and blurry foreground)
So, yeah, I couldn't be more excited about the new lens!
But, to finish this post - I got Andie a single cup coffee maker for our anniversary. He's been wanting one forever! Whenever he makes coffee (usually just on the weekends) he makes a whole pot, drinks one cup or maybe two, then we toss the rest of it. This will be so much more efficient! The coffee maker also makes chai tea - so that's something that I could definitely get on board with (since I don't like coffee).
That sums up our anniversary celebration!
Also, I gotta give a shout-out to Jack Kosek who shares May 5th with us! Happy first birthday, little man!
