Celebrating Our Anniversary

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary! Oh and guess what Russell is doing?  He's out at the dunes with his dad and his brothers and I'm here taking care of 2 girls with pink eye and an ear infection. Naah I'm kidding- I'm not mad at all.  We celebrated last night so that Russell could go riding today with his brother who we haven't seen in a year and a half ( he lives in Minnesota).  

So last night we left the kiddos with my good friend and neighbor and went to see the new Will Smith movie "Seven Pounds."  It was good- I think I will enjoy it more the 2nd time. You know all that mystery there is surrounding that movie? (you know the hush-hush interviews and the vague trailers) well, you have to deal with that mystery the whole movie because nothing is revealed until the very end. It's like you are just handed puzzle pieces the whole movie long that you just have to sit there and hold until the very end of the movie when you can finally lay them all down to make sense of them.  Don't get me wrong- I liked the movie- it's just kind of frustrating because you just have to keep guessing what is really going on the whole time.  Go see it- Russell and I both cried and we liked it.  Will Smith is such an amazing actor. 

After the movie Russell took me to a fancy italian restaurant called Isabella's.  Our food was really good.  Russell got lamb that was the special for that night because our waiter said it was amazing and boy was it!  It was so yummy.  My canneloni, ravioli and gnocchi was good too (combo plate 'cause I couldn't decide!), but the lamb was awesome!
