Today Bill and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary! It seems like way longer than that though. LOL. I'm not sure why. I guess because it feels like we've always been together. We treated ourselves to a date afternoon/evening. I have really been itching to see the Our Bodies: The Universe Within exhibit ever since I noticed it advertised in Orlando. I never got a chance to go. Well, I found out that it was at the University of Texas I asked Bill if we could go. I'm not sure he was as enthusiastic as I was, but he did agree that it was really cool. The price tag is a little steep, but it was spectacular. It really was such an awe inspiring experience. It totally illustrated to us how magnificient God's plan for a human body to work is just amazing. Seriously, our bodies are marvelous machines. And the exhibit while graphic in some regards (ie a man was holding his own skin) and even a little emotional in others (ie the babies that died before they had a chance to live here on Earth), it truly was an amazing experience!
(photos are not allowed. i found these on the internet and they are of the displays that we saw.)
After leaving the university, we headed to Round Rock to the French Bistro/Cafe, La Madeleine. We each enjoyed a sandwich and pasta salad and sampled a couple of their little pastries before heading over to the Cinemark to catch Iron Man 2. We knew that was the movie that we had to choose since we saw Iron Man on our last anniversary date when we celebrated our 5th anniversary. We both agreed that it was good, but that the first one had a better story line. We laughed and marked our mental calendars for our 9th anniversary date to see Iron Man 3. LOL.
After the movies, we headed home. Bill did me a favor and put together our wagon that we've had for nearly years and that I need tomorrow while I went out and fetched our traditional anniversary treat carrot cake. We really loved the ones from Publix that we have had before, but this one from Walmart wasn't too bad of a substitute.
My gift is doing double duty. It's a 22 carat gold bangle from Bahrain. It's beautiful! Bill said it's for Mother's Day and our anniversary!
