A Day of Surprises!

So, if you're a little slow on things, just to get you on track: it was our seven year anniversary today. 

Ahh, what an amazing feeling! How wonderful life is!

Anywho, we'd had been trying to come up with plans for something to do on Saturday to celebrate. 

Or so I thought.

Thomas was just placating me. 

Apparently he'd had plans for a while, and just didn't want me to know.

So what did we do?

Lots of fun stuff!

First, there was the mini golf.

A favorite of ours.

Don't judge me about wearing boots mini golfing...

I had no idea what we were up to, and I wanted to look nice for the day.

Plus, I love my boots. :)  

Such a stud. :)

Thomas won, of course, but only by 3 strokes!!

He found this really cute place in Chanhassen that we'd never been to, that I recommend every venture out to once in their life: Golf Zone.

Their course was this cute woodsy thing, and they had this bar/eatery area that was really cute.

And the place was packed, like it was a local hangout.
I dunno, I just really liked the feel of it!

And we had a lot of fun!

After mini golf, we headed out to our next surprise destination:

The Mall of America.

For what you ask?? 

SEALIFE!!!! Wooot!

Talk about fun! 

Lots of cool fishes, sharks, alligators, turtles and more.

I loved it!

My favorite was the jellyfish exhibit - so cool!

After SeaLife at the Mall of America, we did our annual dinner at Benihana. 

Always a favorite.

Always delicious.

Then it was time for snuggling up on the couch, watching Life of Pi.

GREAT movie. 

And I actually stayed awake for the whole thing!
(A rare occurrence for me!)

It was a wonderful day.

We had so much fun screwing around and spending time together.

I love this man!

And this life!
