=anniversary get away=

On Friday, Michael and I headed out to Ocean Shores for our three year anniversary. Three years! Hard to believe that it's already been that long. Time has gone by so quickly, it's crazy. We spent Saturday night at the Quinault Beach Resort and Casino. When we got there, we headed down to gamble a bit and get a few drinks in the Lounge. After gambling our $40 away in penny slots, we headed to get our drinks. This is the beginning of my bad luck. I ordered a comso. Anyone who has had a cosmo knows that they are a nice cranberry color and tastes delicious. A bitter sweet taste. Well, not this one. It was a soft pink and tasted like watered down vodka. It was HORRIBLE! After 20 minutes of Michael and I trying to figure out what I could say to the bartender when I took it back to not sound like a B****, it was too late to do so. Michael, who had a nasty cold at the time, a sinus and ear infection to be exact, drank it. He couldn't taste anything, so he figured...what the heck. Lol...I was not willing to spend another $7 on a drink with the possibility of having it taste nasty again! So we left and headed up to our room. Next was dinner at their resturaunt. They had a FABULOUS buffet, however, me and buffets don't go well together. I can't eat more than one plate. Not worth the money. So I ordered a chicken linguini dish while Michael at the fabulous buffet with king crab legs, red potatoes, fruit, veggies, wild rice, roast, etc. It looked amazing! My dish got there, and it was swimming in the sauce. Way too much sauce. I asked for less sauce and it came back with less...but was still covered. It was so rice I could hardly eat it. Waste of $19...ugh. I then ordered the Chocolate Lovers Tower...can't go wrong with chocolate right? WRONG! It was supposed to be a musse...and it definitley wasn't. It was hard...and not so good. Yet again, another waste of $7. Later in our room, we decided to get some more dessert. Michael ordered the ice cream sundae and I ordered the New York cheese cake. It was amazing! Finally! Something that was good! It didn't last long though.....in the morning, we ordered room service and I ordered a bagel with cream cheese. My bagel was totally burnt! What the heck! urg....so not my weekend for food! Michael, however, had the best luck. Everything he ordered was great!

Aside from the food, it was a great time. We didn't do much, which was the point. We drove on the beach, watch a movie, slept in a little bit, snuggled, laughed, it was great. I know now why it's important for married couples to get away every so often. Out of the normal everyday life routine that we are in. Michael and I have been though a lot. More than most have in the short amount of time we've been together. Through the struggles and good times, Michael and I have grown closer than we've ever been. Granted, every marriage takes work and I know there are a lot more struggles and growth spurts to go through, but I look forward to them. So, here's to us baby...three years down....a lifetime to go! I LOVE YOU!
