Today was our wedding anniversary. The past 15 years has been about living, loving and creating our beautiful, one of a kind family. Fifteen years ago we dreamed about going back to Colorado where we honeymooned to celebrate our anniversary. Well, overtime dreams change, children come along and the economy takes a dip. We did have a beautiful evening right here at home.
We told the boys that our anniversary was coming up and they asked what an anniversary was. The best way to describe it to them that they would understand was that it is kind of like a birthday of our wedding. Of course all birthdays have to have a birthday party so that is what we did.
I decided to surprise Caleb and set up a table outside for a special dinner I made.
Welcome to Piney Creek Rustica. Best described as rustic outdoor dinning, complete with local entertainment by the Piney Creek twins. On the menu this evening was grilled ribeye steaks topped with blue cheese compound butter with creamy polenta and steamed artichokes.
For dessert I made our all time favorite, buttermilk panna cotta topped with fresh raspberries.
I wish I could say that over the years everything has been peaches and cream but there have been a few bumps in the road along the way. I can say that 15 years later I still look forward to sitting down and having dinner with Caleb just as much as I did at our first meal together.
Our evening was memorable. The weather was perfect, the views amazing, the food was yummy, and the entertainment was hysterical. We even got to watch a live bike performance after dinner put on by the twins.
What's a party without sparklers? Colton found a pack of sparklers left over from the 4th of July which he insisted that we light before the evening was over.
Layton said it perfectly when he told us that this was "the BEST anniversary ever!"
