7 year anniversary

Evin and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary earlier this month (January 5) It was a Monday and Evin had to work but that night we went out to dinner. We ate at Sweetwater Tavern, one of our old favorites. We have eaten there 5 out of 7 anniversaries. The first anniversary was because it snowed and Sweetwater is so close (about 1/4 mile) it was easy to get to. The second year was because Arianna was only a couple days old and we wanted to go out but we (I) didn't want to go too far. The third year we went to Dolche Vita, a fantastic little Italian place. The fourth year I think we were both craving Sweetwater and had not been there for a while so we went for our old tradition. The fith year Griffin was only a few weeks old and we (I) wanted to go out but not go too far. The sixth year we went to this French place called Chez Francois. It's way out in the middle of a neighborhood in Great Falls with these huge houses. The food was incredible and the place was warm, inviting and romantic. I would love to go there again sometime.....
There is a new place that Evin found out about from Nick at work. It's a greenhouse that was converted to a restuarant. They serve all organic, local, in season food that looks like artwork on a plate. They are only open like 3 days a week and it's over an hour away so we are extending our anniversary celebration and going there just as soon as Evin's parents can babysit......I'll be sure to let everyone know if it's as good as it sounds.
After dinner we came home and exchanged letters instead of gifts. Evin had the idea and I loved it! We each wrote down the ways we have seen the fruits of the spirit at work in each others lives in the past year. We sat by the fire and read them aloud to each other. It was so encouraging and a simple gift we will each treasure forever. We decided to write a letter to each other every year for our anniversary from now on.
