Celebrating 25 Years With My Man #Marriage #anniversary #datenight

My husband and I have been together a long time. We met 31 years ago on 440 in Jersey City. My friend noticed him for me as I had just broken up with a dude and loved long hair guys. She followed him to Bayonne, pushed me out of the car and said "talk to him before he thinks it was me chasing him."  I thought he was okay but not what I was looking for at the moment but got out and talked about his bumper sticker. WSOU Pirate Radio! "Where did you get that sticker?"

He had a guitar case on his back and I was immediately more into him. We exchanged numbers because I knew a lot of band folks and he was looking for a singer.

Here we are 25 years later and 2 kids. We never go out alone, but I had a gift certificate and he mentioned "are we going out to eat for our anniversary?" he even called it a "date night!" gasp!

We made reservations and thank God we did because it was packed. Dinner was expensive but delicious. I drove there and back which makes me super happy! I hate when someone else drives. 

He had a Blue Moon and I enjoyed a house sangria which was amazing. I have never been a drinker usually opting for water but drank the whole thing.  I got a charcuterie board and we both got the short ribs.  I had a chocolate tarte with homemade maple ice cream. He was full as he ate lunch and I was like heck no! Dinner!

We enjoyed the place and the company was funny. Hopefully we spend many more dinners together. It has not always been easy but we have always managed to find a way.
