6th Wedding Anniversary Dinner


Yesterday we talked about how developing an attitude of gratitude is the first step to expressing thanks.

Last night, DH and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary at home with romantic music and dinner by candlelight. Our healthy meal consisted of a baby spinach salad with fresh strawberries and slivered almonds, then drizzled with light Asian sesame dressing, followed by a six-ounce beef tenderloin filet accompanied with baby lima beans, julienned sweet potatoes sauteed in a balsamic reduction sauce, and iced tea. (As part of the centerpiece, I used the figurines from our wedding cake. Notice the golf club at the feet of the groom in the picture above.)

Want to share the moment? Here's a short video of me reading the card from DH, followed by a video of DH reading the card from me. (Nope, he is not lying down at the table. I had the camera turned the wrong way!)

Talk about grateful! I do love my DH and am SO proud of his losing 22 pounds since January 15. Please remember us this afternoon when we visit a surgeon to discuss options to having DH's gall bladder removed.

Thanks for the kind words about the table. The tall candles were part of a larger group on the altar during the wedding!

Did I cook the meal? Well, I had help. DH grilled the steaks.

One more time....AWWWWW!

What a beautiful table you set out. And so healthy, too! Yay for both of you. Congratulations! :o)

I started A New Earth. I read the first chapter, and today I'm going to do the workbook. Then I'm going to watch the class from last night on iTunes.
