Celebrating our 4th Anniversary

Bobby and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary yesterday. Somehow, it seems like we've been together for much longer! (in a good way, honey :-) We decided that our new back/laundry doors and storm doors are our gifts to each other (for the rest of the year!) and we also gave each other very nice cards. Oh! We got one from Graham too! I guess we need to thank Grandma for helping Graham write that one ;-)

The three of us got dressed up and went out for a fancy steak dinner. The restaurant lit a candle on our dessert and then presented us with some chocolate truffles to take home for our anniversary!
After dinner, we decided to walk around the outdoor mall and by the end of the walk, Mommy got a new set of pasta bowls and a serving bowl!
So much for no more pressies! I've always wanted some pasta bowls and of course, they were on sale and funny enough, the sales associate insisted that EVERYONE needs pasta bowls! Plus, we're making homemade pasta now too with the new pasta maker that I got for Christmas!
Based on the instructions, you can dry the pasta and store it in a air-tight container. But at the same time, there's also a warning in the booklet on how the pasta/dough to be refrigerated within the hour of being prepared as it contains eggs or it may cause food poisoning! Since it takes forever for the pasta to dry, I decided to just store the leftover pasta in an airtight container and put it in the fridge. It was quite a task though to get it out of the container for our next meal as the noodles are very fragile!
Anyhow, it's amazing how easy it is to make basic egg noodle/pasta. Bobby is convinced that fresh pasta is the way to go and we are never buying any more boxed ones from the store!

It's been a great 4 years with lots of fun memories and now that we have Graham, I'm sure we will have plenty more wonderful memories to create! I love you lots, honey!!! :-x
(PS: Perhaps we can get those matching salad plates next year ;-)
