anniversary

Two Years of Wedding Bliss

celebrations, dining, friends

Another year has quickly gone by. It was a year full of travels near and far from home – Northern California, Argentina, Joshua Tree, LA, Death Valley, Vietnam, Utah. I’m very lucky that I’ve got such a wonderful husband who I admire for his confidence, honesty and strength.

We returned to the place where we got married to celebrate our anniversary – at a cozy little table set for two at The Prado in San Diego’s Balboa Park. Dinner consisted of a stone fruit farmer’s salad, seared US Kobe beef sushi rolls, roasted duck breast with blackberry sauce for me, and the most delicious Ribeye steak with peppercorn sauce for him. We enjoyed a flan cheesecake for dessert. The night was so simple yet so enjoyable. We talked and dined at the restaurant for almost 3 hours over a bottle of pinot. And since it was a Wednesday night, we almost had the restaurant to ourselves!

Life can get very hectic with work, family and household responsibilities, even for this DINKY family. I was so so happy on our anniversary night that we could spend it with each other without a care in the world 🙂

As for a gift, B added another orchid to my collection as well as some cookbooks I have been eyeing ever since we got home from our southeast Asia trip:

I’m excited to acquire some more Asian cookbooks to my collection, especially the Vietnamese cookbooks!  Thank you sweetie!
