A Night to Remember....

Thank you so much everyone for leaving Nate and I the sweetest messages, congrats, and well wishes! We truly appreciate it, and feel encouraged and loved.. not to mention the nice warm fuzzies, LOL!

Friday was a wonderful day! I spent the afternoon getting a mani/ pedi.. the nice kinds, complete with parafin and massages. Heaven! My callousy feet thank me....

Then, Nate's mom came over to watch Seth and spend the night, so we didn't have to worry about getting home. I was so excited to wear the *perfect* dress... and it was worth every penny! I loved how it looked on me, and it was very comfortable!


Here we are in front of our house before we left for dinner.... Gramma is the real photog behind the pic. I just put my seal on it for security purposes....

A HUGE thanks to Melanie (one of my fellow PA'ers and one of my fab CT gals) who recommended our dinner choice, and the coupon she sent (LOL!) She told us to go to the Georgetowne Inn. We had a bit of trouble getting there.... Pittsburgh is not the easiest city to drive, all one ways and fast exits, and no way to turn around. Finally, 30 minutes late, we arive to dinner and we are escorted to our window table... The restaurant is situated on top of a hill overlooking Pittsburgh, and namely the rivers and the ball parks... right next door was one of the historic Inclines, which we watched take passengers up and down...

We had a wonderful dinner! We both had filet mignon's and I also had a side of shrimp stuffed with crab. During dinner we exchanged our presents, both new rings~ (Yep Jenn!!! Got my bling, LOL!) I love my new ring, it fits really well, and sparkles so beautifully! As Nate slipped mine on my finger, he told me he'd marry me all over again. (Don't sigh too quickly girls, he's only romatic like this once a year, LOL!)
The sun started going down during dinner, and we had a great view of the Pirate's ballpark, and there was a game going on! This was our view from our table~

All in all, we had a fabulous night. It was really great to get away just the 2 of us, dressed to the nines. We decided to end the night with a movie, b/c nowadays that is a real treat. We drove over the the waterfront (the signature smokestacks are below) and we saw Mission Impossible 3. Great movie! Even though Tom Cruise is a nut, this movie was the best of the 3 so far, both of our opinions.


It was a late night, we didn't end up getting home till after 2am, but we had a blast, and that was the main idea.

I hope all of you have a wonderful Memorial Day! We are heading over the Nate's fam for a cookout, and I think I am going to take some tea party pics of my neices.

Oh, I am so glad that your evening was "perfect." It sounds like you had a great time together (and as parents ourselves, my DH & I completely understand the movie bit!)
I had a few tears in my eyes when I read about your evening- oh what girl doesn't love to hear things like "I'd marry you all over again" from her hubby- makes me wish my anniversary wasn't so far away (Sept). LOL!
Happy Memorial Day!! Can't wait to see your tea party pictures!

Congrats! It sounds like a lovely evening. We celebrated our 9 year anniverary Saturday - dinner and a movie, grandparents kept our 2 year old. I also met my husband at Bible College. I'm seeing some similarities here!

Your wedding layout is beautiful.

Oh, Andrea! I'm so glad that you guys had such a great time on your anniversary night. Your dress was awesome, girl! You two make such a sweet couple. I hate driving around downtown too...it is SO confusing! Jarrett has to go there pretty often for work, so he knows his way around...needless to say, he does all the driving down there if we are together! LOL...
