Happy Anniversary to Us!

Yesterday was our 4th anniversary! We can hardly believe it has already been four years... my how time has flown. And we are more in love today than we were even on that beautiful day we got married.


Kevin planned our night out, and he did a spectacular job! He surprised me with dinner at The Compass Room in downtown Phoenix. For those of you from Seattle, it's like Phoenix's version of the Space Needle. This round restaurant sits on top of the Hyatt in the middle of the city, and it rotates as you dine.


I was greeted by a beautiful bouquet at our table, comprised of one of my favorite flowers - the gerber daisy - and four red roses, symbolizing our four years together.




Next came the chocolate covered strawberries - yum!




The view was amazing! And as we turned, there were little engraved plates detailing different landmarks and places of interest in the distance so we knew what we were looking out on.



I was feeling pretty special!



My hot date!


There's Chase Field. We could spy a patch of green and the flashing screens of the game going on inside through the windows on the side.

"Uptown" Phoenix in the distance

The rotation was perfectly aligned with the sunset from where we were sitting. Gorgeous.



They wrote special messages on our desserts. We each got the same delicious treat, warm melting cake with some peppermint ice cream. Kevin's said Congratulations for our upcoming little boy, and mine said Happy Anniversary for the occasion.

It was such a special night. We enjoyed the evening together as if we didn't have a care in the world. We won't easily forget it!
