Anniversary Splurge May 21, 2009

My husband and I celebrated 4 years of marriage last week, so this past weekend we splurged a bit to celebrate.  We have been very good about not eating out much lately, so we felt it was ok if we spoiled ourselves this one weekend.  We went to a fancy steak and seafood restaurant and saw Wicked, the musical.  The dinner was delicious — I had fillet mignon and a fabulous martini composed of amaretto, vanilla vodka and pineapple juice.  Wicked was incredible — those ladies can SING!

Now don’t worry folks, I haven’t abandoned all financial sense for the sake of indulgence!  Since tickets to the musical were rather expensive, C and I made a pact not to get each other gifts this year — instead, the tickets were a joint gift to each other.  Also, since we knew it was going to be a pricey meal, we made sure to select a restaurant where we could get 4% back for my student loan through Upromise.  All in all it was a wonderful night, and I look forward to many more happy anniversaries with my husband.
