It's 6 o'clock on a Saturday...AM that is

So yesterday was our 10th anniversary. As blogged yesterday but that was early in the day so I'll give a recap of stuff. We spent most of the day together, even if it was just sitting next to each other while she looked at her crafting websites and I coded in Java for my computer science class. Lots of cuddling and kissing which Crickett said was, "dee-sgusting" and covered her eyes when we were doing it. It was funny and cute. After the kids got home we packed them all up and hauled them off to Michelle's friends house. Yvonne had volunteered to watch our kids for our anniversary so we dropped them off at a quarter to 5. She had dinner and a whole evenings worth of activities planned. We were thrilled but Michelle really wanted to pick them up by 9 to avoid the cranky, tired whining on the way home. We still ended up getting some from Adeena but most everybody else was pretty good. Then we went to a craft shop called 3 Wishes so Michelle could get a shuttle for her loom and some Merino wool to blend with some of her other fiber. I was surprised where it was at because I'd driven by it quite a bit as I went to the DI off of Redwood and 70th south and to Harbor Freight.

*Tangent: Harbor Freight has some of the best deals on stuff!! I got a bunch of work gloves for(nice leather and canvas ones) for Hearts for the Holidays there for 99 cents on one of their sales. The cool thing is they have quite a bit that is regularly priced better than I've seen it at Home Depot or Lowes. I also just got me an 8 gallon, 2 hp air compressor for $99! I had to do a little dance when I got home even though I still haven't taken it out of the box. /Tangent

After 3 Wishes, we went to Fantastic Sam's because Michelle said she was going to get her hair cut. For any of you who had seen it, her hair was down to her backside. It was just plain long. It was pretty but long hair gets pulled a lot on accident because it's EVERYWHERE!! Not a burden I have to worry about. Now, I grew up with 5 brothers and 1 sister. I have never actually seen a girl get her hair cut. I haven't even been in a barber shop in 9 years. Michelle kept looking at her watch and was suddenly quite nervous about whacking it all off. And whack she did. She cut off more than she kept. Which amazingly means she still has hair about 14" long and took off 16". But to watch the stylist cut her hair was so fascinating for me. I never knew they cut girl's hair that way. But she did it! And she looks very beautiful with her new cut.

We had an epic journey trying to find a restaurant for our anniversary. We considered places like La Caille, The Roof and got some recommendations from friends for the Tiberon. Michelle wanted French food but the only other French restaurant in Salt Lake, outside of La Caille, wasn't any cheaper and not really the ambiance we wanted. After looking at a ton of menus, she decided she really kinda wanted seafood and none of those places had a good seafood selection. So instead of someplace fancy, we went to Red Lobster. Which is apparently a very popular anniversary dinner spot as 3 other tables right around us were also celebrating their anniversaries. The food was good and we got very stuffed.

Oh and Michelle wore her shawl. It took her 5 months to complete. You can see pictures of it on her blog which is in my blog list called My Wife's Design Studio. I'm very proud of her and it looked fabulous.

And for some inexplicable reason, I woke up at 6 am and couldn't go back to sleep. Almost as if there was some impending danger. I can't really explain it. Nothing is wrong but I couldn't sleep so here I am blogging. It's taken me a long time to write this and the twins are stirring now that it's 7 am. Keeping them up late doesn't buy us any time in the morning. I'm not sure why. It works with the other 3.

Anyway, I'm just sending this out into the void, good morning dear void.
