Celebrating a Year With My Love

Today I have been dating my boyfriend for a year. We dated on and off and were friends before that, we've know each other about 3 years. But a year ago, we decided to commit and there have been lots of ups and downs, learning more about how we push and then to not push each others buttons.  He is a huge source of love and support for me. He's helped me be an advocate for myself in the realms of mental and physical health, I've helped him expand his horizons when it comes to trying new foods and living a healthy lifestyle. We are good for each other and I'm so happy to have him in my life, love you baby!

Okay on to the non-mushy stuff!  We are lucky that its Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine Restaurant Week:Summer 2011 here in the twin cities and we were able to celebrate at a yummy restaurant Ruth's Chris Steakhouse for a nice prix fixe evening!

We were greeted warmly by the host stand, our waitress Lynn was off the charts with descriptions, recommendations and banter, if you go, ask for her section!

We chose filet mignon, shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed green beans for our dinner. We both also got our choice of salad, Ryan and Caesar I had steakhouse, and we also purchased a bottle of wine (not part of the restaurant week, but we were celebrating!)    When Ryan received the bill for dinner, our waitress had written "Happy Anniversary!" on the bill and she didn't charge for the wine! What a nice thing for Ruth's Chris to do to help us celebrate!

Here is a little photo review of dinner:
