Our 5th Anniversary!

The Fam - before Brent and I went out...

My Hubby

Saturday was our 5th wedding anniversary! I can't believe it's been that long already! This has been a great year in our marriage with the birth of our first child and moving into our first home. I'm excited and curious what the rest of our years will bring us!
On Friday night Brent and I went out to celebrate and left Ben with his Auntie Brittany and Grandma Debbie. We went to Haute Quarter Grill in Eagle River - it was quite tasty. But I ate so much I didn't even want dessert and I ALWAYS want dessert! We had also planned to go see My Bestfriend's Girl in the theater. Now Brent and I haven't seen a movie in the theater since War of the Worlds... yes I KNOW it's been forever! Anyways, we get to the theater and they say they only take cash! What is this a mom and pop movie place? Brent hardly ever carries cash (who does these days?) but happens to have $15 - but the movie is $19.95. Hmmm... of course I forgot my purse in my rush to get out the door with all the things Ben needed for being at Grandma's. Brent tries to go to the Chinese place next door to see if he can strike a deal and get some cash with his Visa - no luck. So we rented a few movies instead and then drove up Skyline to check out the views because it was such a pretty night.
Here's my theroy about movies in the theaters:
I have a hard time paying the ridicoulous amount it costs because we get Netflix for $8.99/ month and probably get on average 8 movies/month. We get as many snacks as we want without paying an arm and a leg, we can watch in our pj's, nobody talks during the movie and if a baby cries it's ours and we can just pause the movie until we are ready to watch again. So yup - that's why we haven't seen a movie in the theater for over 3 years! :)
