7 Years

Eric and I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary on Sunday. We went to a really nice restaurant up in the Pinehurst area called Elliotts on Linden. It was probably the nicest restaurant I've ever been to. The waitress addressed us by Mr and Mrs Danko before we even knew her name! The food was delicious and the restaurant itself was calming and beautiful inside.

We started out with some fried calamari with lemon and ginger sauce and napa cabbage slaw, but didn't take a picture!

Eric had the cedar plank salmon over wilted spinach salad. I snagged a taste and it was very good.




I had the ranch pork chop with grilled peaches topped with sweet corn relish and adobo chili sauce. I saw truffel macaroni and cheese on the menu and had to have a side of that too. They were both amazing!


The restaurant offered us a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. It was a chocolate torte! Neither of us had room for dessert, but we don't get to go out like this very often, so we said, what the heck!


After the nice meal, we came home to a house of sleeping babies. What a wonderful night!


This is our "annual anniversary shot" We have taken a picture together on every anniversary and have them displayed in the family room. We hope that one day, when the boys are older, they will look back at those pictures the way Eric and I like to look at family photos of our parents and grandparents.
