Anniversary 2008

We sort of already celebrated our two year anniversary last week in a bed and breakfast place in Illinois, but today was our real anniversary. For dinner we drove up the road to Sierra Madre where I went to pre-school. There you’ll find a restaurant called Casa Del Rey that features my favorite restaurant tacos in Los Angeles. I took a picture of Nicolette while she was looking at the menu and I took photos of the food. Afterwards we walked round the corner for ice cream then we went home. That’s when things got out of hand.

I put on my vest and opened a bottle of Mountain Dew while Nicole read some articles that she printed out from the internet. I says to myself “It’s on!” and I pulled down my champagne bucket off of the cabinet. It’s a standing tradition that I enjoy cruel Mountain Dew out of a champagne bucket every year.

The first time was during the honeymoon – nobody bought me the champagne bucket I asked for in our wedding registry, so I had to drink out of the hotel champagne bucket at the casino where we were staying in Las Vegas. Last year, our first anniversary was in the mountains. Nicole got me my own champagne bucket that year and I bought the Mountain Dew in a little town store in the mountains. I didn’t have my vest with me last year, but I did tonight, and let me tell you, it got *Kray-z33!*
