Mal and I celebrated 12 years of marriage yesterday. It was our 12th anniversary on July 12th aka our golden anniversary, right? š It was a fairly low-key celebration, but still really nice. Plus, now we can add “celebrate an anniversary during a pandemic” to our relationship!
Mal and Quinn slept in super late, but I was up and at ’em making a special breakfast. We had croissants (from Trader Joe’s), bacon (obviously, Niman Ranch), eggs and toast (for Mal), cherries (for Quinn), and I had a crepe with chocolate and banana inside. Yummmmm!
After breakfast, we took Murphy for a family walk and then packed up for an afternoon at Funny Farm. The weather forecast said it was going to be 90 degrees (!!) that afternoon, so Ā swimming in the pool was the way to go!
We packed a lunch and snacks to eat at the pool. We stay until the early afternoon and then headed home for part 2 of our anniversary celebration.
When we got home, it was time for presents. Mal’s wrapping job = nearly 17 years together! Haha! Ok, mine wasn’t much better… Amazon package inside a gift bag! But, anyways…Ā I got Mal a new set of resistance bands (he actually picked them out) and he bought me a super cute tie dye pajama set! š
For dinner, we picked up take-out from a new restaurant in the area called Cheever Tavern. A bunch of our friends recommended it, so we decided to give it a try and we were pleasantly surprised. Everything was really tasty, especially for take-out. I definitely think Cheever Tavern will become part of our regular rotation!
All in all, Mal and I had a great time celebrating #12!
And just so we don’t forget… “It’s true. You can eat beans in the summer and the winter.”
