5 year anniversary

Michael and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary on Saturday.  It was really cool that it was on a Saturday this year.  I had a very busy and fun morning, so we weren't sure if we would be able to go out later that evening or not. 
We both got up early with Dylan on Saturday morning.  He was having a playdate with two of his favorite people (Andrew and Claire).  Michael asked me if I wanted my gift, I could tell he was very excited about it.  I was also excited because I had put a lot of effort into his gift.  For our first anniversary, we really went all out and made it super special.  Since then, we have just gone out to dinner together.  This year, I wanted to do something extra special for Michael.  I gave him a little cash to put towards his car and then I gave him 12 "dates."  I put them in a wooden box (5 year traditional gift is wood).  Each date is sealed and labeled with the month it should be redeemed.  Inside the envelope ther is a description (cute poem) of the date we will venture on sometime during that month.  Some of the dates are simple and held right in our home, while others are a fun get away!  I'm super excited about our year of dates!!  I will try to post as we go on them. 

So...back to Michael's gift to me.  He handed me a card and a box of chocolates.  I opened the card, which was very sweet, and picked up the chocolates to see what the flavors were.  I noticed that the seal was not on them and that there was a little white bag where two pieces of chocolate should have been.  My first thought was, "my pandora bracelet is complete."  I only need one more bead for it and really want to wait to see if we have another child before adding anymore of them.  As I pulled the bag out of the box of chocolates, Michael said, "It's just another bead."  I really did believe him!  I got mad that he told me.  I had the hardest time getting into the bag, but when I did, I was SHOCKED!  He bought me a chocolate diamond ring!!  I've been jokingly asking for one for about 3 years now.  I always put it on my Christmas list, but Santa never brings it (nor did I expect it).  It is very simple and just what I wanted.  I have to get it sized before wearing it.  I'm having issues with sizing right now due to the fact that I have lost so much weight.  I recently had to get a guard put on my engagement ring and wrap.  I do not want to get the chocolate diamond sized to my current ring size because I have full intentions of gaining back the weight I have lost.  So, we will see how the jewelry store handles this!! 

Later that night, my mom came over to watch Dylan.  Michael and I went to Longhorn, our favorite!!  We also went to Target to get a few things for Dylan.  The highlight of our night was riding by the place we got married!  It brought back so many wonderful memories!  We even said if there was a wedding going on, we might just have to stop!  To our surprise it was dark and noone was there!
