our third anniversary! and other things...

i wrote about our second anniversary that we celebrated last year here. i posted it last week, so it may have been confusing for you.

this year we celebrated our THIRD anniversary on may 11th!!! amazing, right? it was really fun.

jon reserved a room for us on the 10th since it was a friday. we stayed at Hotel Indigo in downtown san diego. the lobby was really nice and had this water fountain going from the ceiling to the floor. we found out later that it is one of the only san diego hotels that allows pets which is why the floors are all hardwood in the rooms. 

the room was really nice! it was so fun to be downtown and be able to walk everywhere. 

for dinner we went to the corner. it had a really fun atmosphere. it was a seat yourself bar type thing and had games and books you could look at. jon and i played pass the popcorn. i don't really like movies (unless its as funny as she's the man, as cute as the notebook and as colorful as pitch perfect) so i didn't do very good, but jon knew everything about every movie. the burgers were oookkkaayyyyy and the fried pickles weren't good. we'd know too, we are burger/fried pickled connoisseurs. 

the three year traditional anniversary gift is leather!!! a few months ago jon and i went to mary's tack store to look around and they were having a great sale on boots. jon got me my tall leather riding boots and told me it was our anniversary gift. i am so obsessed with them! i am glad he gave them to me early because i was able to break them in and wear them to my show and to my last lessons on gerry. i got him a new big-boy watch! it looks so good on him!

saturday night we went to dinner with these two who we love!!!

this is a terrible picture but it shows the restaurant. we ate at the pearl which is a mid-century style hotel/restaurant that has a pool, movie screens showing old movies, and great food. we love hanging out with lindsay and wes so much that we hung out with them on our anniversary! that's true love, haha. 

per tradition we lit off three chinese lanterns for each year we've been married! we had chris and sully (the kids we were living with) help us. it was fun to have them there with us and only stressed jon out for one whole night since we saw the lanterns slightly dim and then fall into a far off field. these lanterns obviously weren't as good as ones we've had previously (but they were heart shaped!!!!) and good news:: no forest fires were started by us that night!

seriously though, our favorite activity is finding fun new restaurants. this one (craft and commerce) was recommended to us because of their amazing burgers and fried pickles (i wasn't kidding about being connoisseurs) and it was really good. the ambiance was interesting too. (you can probably gather that from the website)

three years ago whitney recommended kono's to us. we finally went. and it was awesome. 

and finally. the night before graduation we had a big family dinner with the isaac's. we had their typical sunday dinner which consisted of steak, salad, garlic bread and pasta. we laughed the whole way through dinner reciting office quotes. chris sr (the father) was cracking everyone up, his laugh is infectious.
(for you office lovers, we were laughing the hardest about the episode that stanley has a heart attack and they are all learning CPR. michael starts singing the wrong song!!! so funny! also, creed.)
 that night we got frozen yogurt and watched the season finale of the office. it was so good and we loved watching it with true office junkies. we miss them so much!!!!
