It was soooo nice to get away for the night for our anniversary. I missed the babies insanely but I was able to ignore the feeling and have a great time. We went to Nick & Sam’s, a steakhouse in uptown Dallas. I expected that we would go somewhere nice for dinner but I had no idea it would be a place like that. We had the most amazing, ridiculously expensive steak. I’m not even going to tell you how much it cost because you’ll think I’m out of my mind to spend that much on a hunk of beef but seriously, it was SO GOOD. Preston had told me that celebrities frequent Nick & Sam’s while in town (it’s a favorite of George Clooney’s apparently) and surprisingly enough… Preston met Gene Simmons in the men’s room. LOL! I saw him through the door when Preston went in but he had a little chat with him. It was pretty cool. Neither of us really get star struck but I mean come on… Gene Simmons. If you’re going to bump into a legend… I’d say that’s a pretty sweet one to bump into!
Anyway, while we were at the restaurant Preston gave me a silver engraved jewelry box. I was going on about how pretty it was and then finally opened it and almost crapped my pants when I saw what was inside. He got me a 1 ct tw diamond anniversary band. It is GORGEOUS. It’s huge, I’m semi nervous to even wear it for fear that something will happen to it!
After dinner we checked into our hotel. We stayed at the W Hotel downtown. The suite we stayed in was sooooo nice. I’ve wanted to stay there but really, how often do you stay at a hotel in your own area. So, I was excited about that. We spent some time there and then went to the movies. We saw No Reservations. It was really good, I recommend it. Typical date thing, right?
We have a thing for movies so going is special to us. Then we went back to our room and well, I can’t tell you what happened after that. Haha
Seriously though, it was a great anniversary. It was nice to get away for the night and not have to worry about anything.
So, today I’m just cleaning up around the house and stuff like that. I’m thinking about trying to convince Preston to go swimming with me again. We’ve been getting a good work out swimming and it’s nice to do something summery for exercise. Except I got a little burnt the other day and now it itches like crazy.

I went to a Brazilian Steakhouse in Houston that was $120 per person and it was by far the best place I’ve ever ate at.
Glad you had a good time. It’s good you two had some time to spend with each other.
