Thirth Anniversary

I try to keep my blog semi-professional and keep my personal life just that. Sure the reader can get an unhealthy dose of my personal opinions, but to read of what is happening in my life is more rare. This is one of those rare moments that I just have to share, because it was an awesome day. I went to visit my girlfriend for the weekend, which is usual, but the difference was that this was the 3th Anniversary weekend.

Considering my current status I have to be careful with money, so I stopped in and got a rose to give to my gal. When I arrived, she acted funny, and told me to wait downstairs. She then hopped up the steps and came back down soon after and told me to follow. So I go up with her, sensing that there was a surprise awaiting me up there.

My girlfriend never ceases to amaze me with her talent. She is a sculptor, jewelry maker, cake artist, and designer. So awaiting me in the kitchen was this awesome cake!

Sushi Cake

She definitely outdid me this anniversary for gifts. Once I saw this cake it was decided that we would parttake in some Asian cuisine. So we went to Fuji House and had a Yaki Maki Maki Maki. I even said it to the waitress that way because I got such a kick out of it. Of course once I said it, I made myself more clear. It was actually a Japanese Yakiniku and Chicken platter, Maki Spicy Roll (Tuna), Maki Green River (Eel), and Maki California Roll (Crab). It was delicious.

Having used chopsticks with a little cartoon panda on the paper sleeve, I began to think about a geocache that had been placed outside the restaurant that I had previously found called Happy Panda. My girlfriend's fortune cookie had a great message that fit well in the context of geocaching. The fortune said "You will discover an unexpected treasure." This inspired me to revisit the cache.

So I neatly tore the little happy panda from the bottom of the sleeve and folded the fortune in half then placed the fortune inside the sleeve and placed it in the cache. I had the whole theme going too because I was wearing my When Pandas Attack threadless tee as well. Such a good day.
