5 Years!!!

Yesterday, Zak and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary. I knew Zak was planning something special for the day, even if he wouldn't tell me anything, but I had no clue what he had in store for us. It was a perfect day together.

Here's our anniversary...in pictures!

Zak woke me up early with this homemade card. He told me to get dressed and bring a change of clothes because we were hitting the rode for a short road trip and a day of our favorite things.

We headed out early to drop Colton off with Nanny.
Made a pit stop at Buc-ee's, the greatest gas station ever!
(Whats a road trip without snacks!?!)

As the clouds rolled in Zak worried our day would be messed up but I knew no matter what, it was going to be perfect!

We ended up in Gruene Texas at the Gristmill. It's got great food and an amazing view. (We ate lunch here on our first wedding anniversary.)

As you can tell from our shirts, the rain found us but it didn't last long at all.

After lunch, we headed over for a beer at Gruene Hall. Almost my whole life, I've lived in Texas and Zak and I have even visited Gruene before, but I'd never been inside the historic music hall.

Before heading out with did a little shopping. The Old General Store was full of fun souvenirs, I could have spent all day just looking around in there.

After a short drive, and a quick wardrobe change, we head into Austin to celebrate with a special dinner at McCormick and Schmicks.

Zak made reservations and they gave us this dated menu that said "Happy Anniversary". (It's really the small things that get me excited. I think their menus are always dated but the fact that it said "Happy Anniversary" made me smile!)

We enjoyed a quiet, slow, yummy dinner in the privacy of our own little room.

I was so surprised by our day together. Zak really put a lot of thought into everything we did. We don't get to do things like this very often and the whole day was such a special treat. I married the most amazing man who takes the incredible care of his family. I can't imagine my life with out him.

Here's to at least 70 more years just like the last 5!

I love you so much Zak!
